85 "GDB is the GNU debugger. With it, you can monitor what a program is
86 doing while it runs or what it was doing just before a crash. It allows you
87 to specify the runtime conditions, to define breakpoints, and to change how
88 the program is running to try to fix bugs. It can be used to debug programs
89 written in C, C++, Ada, Objective-C, Pascal and more.")
