.TH OCAMLDEBUG 1

.SH NAME
ocamldebug \- the Objective Caml source-level replay debugger.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ocamldebug
.I "[options] program [arguments]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ocamldebug
is the Objective Caml source-level replay debugger.

Before the debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and
linked with the
.B \-g
option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part
of the program should have been created with
.BR ocamlc\ \-g ,
and they must be linked together with
.BR ocamlc\ \-g .

Compiling with
.B \-g
entails no penalty on the running time of
programs: object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and
take longer to produce, but the executable files run at
exactly the same speed as if they had been compiled without
.BR \-g .

.SH OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below.
For a complete description, see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc
package.

Add

to the list of directories searched for source files and
compiled files.  (See also the
.B directory
command.)
.TP
.BI \-s \ socket
Use
.I socket
for communicating with the debugged program. See the description
of the command
.B set\ socket
in
.I "The Objective Caml user's manual"
for the format of
.IR socket .
