dlv: Compile and begin debugging a specific package.
$ dlv debug ${package} ${arguments}
try on your machine
The command "dlv debug ${package} ${arguments}" is used to debug Go programs using a tool called "dlv" (Delve). Here is what each part of the command means:
- "dlv": It is the command to execute the Delve debugger.
- "debug": It is the action to debug the program specified.
- "${package}": It represents the package or binary file to be debugged. It could be the name of the Go package (e.g.,
github.com/user/myproject
) or the file path of a compiled binary (e.g.,/path/to/mybinary
). - "${arguments}": It represents any command-line arguments or flags that need to be passed to the program being debugged.
When this command is executed, Delve starts the debugger session for the specified package or binary. It allows you to set breakpoints, examine variables, execute code step-by-step, and perform various debugging operations to understand and troubleshoot the program's behavior.
