💅 debugger: Erlang Debugger 💅

Okay bestie, this is debugger(3erl) from the Erlang Module Definition collection, folded in near the top so we don’t just copy the header line like a boring NPC. The page is all about the Erlang Debugger. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

debugger — Erlang Debugger. That’s the name, and it’s giving main character energy. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Erlang Debugger for debugging and testing of Erlang programs. Literally the whole plot, no cap. 🦋

🎀 EXPORTS 🎀

🌟 start(), start(File), start(Mode), start(Mode, File) 🌟

Types:

Mode = local | global
File = string()

Starts Debugger. 💅

If a filename is specified as argument, Debugger tries to load its settings from this file. For details about settings, see the User's Guide. (Go read it, iykyk. 📖)

If local is specified as argument, Debugger interprets code only at the current node. If global is specified as argument, Debugger interprets code at all known nodes, this is the default. So global is the default main character unless you say otherwise. 🌈

🧚 quick(Module, Name, Args) 🧚

Types:

Module = Name = atom()
Args = [term()]

Debugs a single process. The module Module is interpreted and apply(Module,Name,Args) is called. This opens an Attach Process window. For details, see the User's Guide. 🫶
