FDEBUGRPM(1)

πŸ“¦ version 0.4, in fedora 43, fedora 44

πŸ’… FDEBUGRPM β€” okay bestie, let's get those debuginfo packages installed

So this is fdebugrpm, from the Frysk manual, section 1. She's a little bash script baddie whose whole job is: install missing debuginfo packages. That's it. That's the gig. Periodt. ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS

fdebugrpm [options] {program arg ...  | pid... |
          core-file [ core-executable ]... }

Like, you can hand her a whole program with args, or a pid, or a core file (and optionally a core executable). She's flexible. She's giving options. πŸ‘‘


🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so here's the tea: fdebugrpm is a bash script that uses the utility fdebuginfo(1) to figure out any missing Debug Information, so you β€” yes YOU β€” can install the missing debuginfo packages. Iconic behaviour honestly. πŸŽ€

Heads up bestie: you need to be in the sudoers(5) file. No sudo privileges, no slay. It's giving ✨privilege check✨.

✨ Standard Frysk Options ✨

These are the classic Frysk options, no cap, all of them, here we go:

  • -exe β€” the full path of the executable to read. Just, like, tell her exactly where the executable lives. Full path only, she's not guessing. πŸ’–
  • -noexe β€” when you're loading a core file, do NOT attempt to read the corresponding executable. Sometimes you just don't wanna, and that's valid. πŸ™ˆ
  • -sysroot directory β€” the system root directory, the place under which all executables, libraries, and source are located. Everything hangs out under here. 🏠
  • -debug class=level... β€” set internal debug-tracing of the specified Java class to level. And the levels are: NONE, INFO, WARNING, FINE, and FINEST. (Very demure, very mindful level naming. πŸ’…) Two little rules tho: if the level is absent, FINE is assumed; if the class is absent, the global level gets set. Knew that? Now you do. 🧠
