💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so Voltron is an extensible debugger UI toolkit written in Python 🐍. Its whole thing — its main character energy, if you will — is making the user experience of various debuggers LLDB, GDB, VDB and WinDbg actually good, by enabling the attachment of utility views that can retrieve and display data from the debugger host. and then?? by running these views in other TTYs, you can build a customised debugger user interface to suit your needs 👑 like it's giving your debugger, your rules, periodt.

---

🎀 getting her set up (the init script moment)

if your debugger has an init script — that's .lldbinit for LLDB or .gdbinit for GDB — configure it to load Voltron when it starts by sourcing the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/voltron/entry.py entry point script. that's it, that's the whole trick, no cap ✨

🌈 LLDB

command script import /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/voltron/entry.py

🌈 GDB

source /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/voltron/entry.py
voltron init
set disassembly-flavor intel

look at her go 😭 so iconic
