This module contains a set of function to gather information about the
debugging capabilities of the platform. It allows to look for a specific
debugger or to query the system for a compatible/default debugger.
The following simple example looks for the default debugger on the
current platform and launches a debugger process with the correct
debugger-specific arguments:
::
import mozdebug
debugger = mozdebug.get_default_debugger_name()
debuggerInfo = mozdebug.get_debugger_info(debugger)
debuggeePath = "toDebug"
processArgs = [self.debuggerInfo.path] + self.debuggerInfo.args
processArgs.append(debuggeePath)
run_process(args, ...)
