| # Debug agent |
| |
| This is the code for the backend of the Fuchsia debugger. This backend runs |
| on the target Fuchsia computer (Linux or Mac) and talks via IPC (code in |
| [../ipc](../ipc)) to the zxdb frontend (code in [../zxdb](../zxdb)) running on |
| the developer's workstation. |
| |
| ### User documentation |
| |
| Please see the debugger [setup](../../../../docs/development/debugger/running.md) and |
| [usage](../../../../docs/development/debugger/README.md) documentation. |
| |
| ### Manual testing |
| |
| When changing anything related to process launching: |
| |
| * `run /boot/bin/ps` |
| * `run -c fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/debug_agent#meta/debug_agent.cmx` _or some other component |
| URL._ |
| * `attach some_filter` _When a process by that name already exists._ |
| * A new process caught by filter (technically 2 handles this, but it's good to be explicit). |
| * `attach 56421` _Attach by PID and name are different code paths in the agent!_ |
