.SH NAME
|
|
pdb2mdb \- Program Database to Mono Debugging Symbol converter.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B pdb2mdb
|
|
pdb_file
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This tool is used to convert debugging symbols generated by
|
|
Microsoft's compilers into debugging symbols that can be consumed by
|
|
Mono's runtime.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Program Database files are files that end with the extension .pdb and
|
|
are associated with a library or executable (a .dll or .exe file).
|
|
This format was until recently not documented so Mono used its own
|
|
file format for storing debugging information, the Mono debugging
|
|
format.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Just like PDB files Mono Debugging information is stored in files that
|
|
reside side-by-side with a program executable or a library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can use the pdb2mdb tool to transform these PDB files into MDB
|
|
files that Mono can then consume to debug programs or provide
|
|
line-number information for stack traces or exceptions.
