26This directory contains source code to the rdb debugger.  This debugger
27is distributed as an example client of the librtld_db.so.1 interface.
28As well as offering examples of the proper calling sequence for the
29librtld_db.so.1 interface rdb also offers a sample implementation of the
30proc_services (/usr/include/proc_service.h) that rdb is dependent upon.
31
32The following is an overview of the directory structure and highlight
33of some of the important files contained within:
34
35rdb.man		- man page for the rdb debugger
36Makefile.com
37Makefile.targ	- common Makefiles included by ${MACH)/Makefile
38common/*	- common source code used for all architectures
39amd64/		- build directory contains architecture specific source files
40i386/		 	"	"	"	"
41sparc/			"	"	"	"
42sparcv9/		"	"	"	"
43amd64/Makefile	- makefiles to build rdb for each architecture
44i386/Makefile		"	"	"	"
45sparc/Makefil		"	"	"	"
46sparcv9/Makefil		"	"	"	"
47test/*		- sample command files which can be used to test rdb

50Building rdb
51------------
52
53To build rdb:
54
55 % cd {amd64,i386,sparc,sparcv9}	- depending on which architecture
56					  you are building for
57 % make all
58
59To test the demo:
60
61 % make test
