NAME
     cvd - The WorkShop Debugger

SYNOPSIS
     cvd [-P processname] [-pid pid] [-host host] [-pcsnum num] [executable [corefile]]

DESCRIPTION
     cvd invokes the WorkShop Debugger.

     The executable used with the debugger is produced by specifying an
     appropriate option (usually -g) to the compiler.  When the executable
     parameter is specified, the WorkShop Debugger will be invoked with the
     specified executable as the target.  Breakpoints and other traps may then
     be set on the executable before running the program.

     If a corefile is specified, or if the file core exists in the current
     directory, the WorkShop Debugger
      can be used to look at the state of the program when it faulted.

Running the WorkShop Debugger
     The WorkShop debugger is invoked with one or more of the following
     arguments:

     -P processname
          Debug the running process with the specified name.

     -pid pid
          Debug the running process with the specified process id.

     -host host
          Specify the remote host where the specified process is running or
          where the specified executable should be executed.  By default,
          programs are executed on the local host.

     -pcsnum num
          Connect to a cvpcs running with the -d flag.  The num is the
          negative of the port number announced by the cvpcs during startup.

     For additional information, please consult the on-line help system or the
     CASEVision/WorkShop User's Guide.

Recording WorkShop Performance Experiments
     The WorkShop debugger is also used to record performance experiments for
     the WorkShop performance analyzer.  To do so, bring up cvd on the
     executable, and use the ``Perf'' entry on the menu bar to select a
     performance task.  See the CASEVision/WorkShop User's Guide, part IV for
     information about the WorkShop performance tools, or see the cvperf(1)
     man page for further information.
