DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
winpdb is a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which
is capable to debug threads- and curses-based code.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below.
-h --help
Print the program’s help.
-d --debuggee
Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger
console.
-a --attach

-o --host
Specify host for attachment.
-r --remote
Allow debuggees to accept connections from remote machines.
-e --encrypt

other systems the password will be queried interactively if
it is needed.
-s --screen

-c --chdir

--debug Debug prints.
