gdb: Start gdb and pass arguments to the executable.

$ gdb --args ${executable} ${argument1} ${argument2}

try on your machine

This command is used to run a program under the GNU Debugger (gdb) with specific arguments.

Here's what each part of the command means:

gdb: This is the actual command to run the GNU Debugger. It is followed by various options, including --args, which indicates that the subsequent arguments should be passed to the program being debugged.
${executable}: This is a placeholder for the name (or path) of the executable file you want to debug. You need to replace ${executable} with the actual name or path of your executable file.
${argument1} and ${argument2}: These are placeholders for the arguments that you want to pass to the program being debugged. Similar to ${executable}, you need to replace ${argument1} and ${argument2} with the actual argument values you want to use.

By running this command, you start the GNU Debugger and tell it to execute your program with the specified arguments. This enables you to debug the program's execution, set breakpoints, inspect variables, and perform other debugging tasks.
