ocamldebug(1) - Linux man page
Name
ocamldebug - the Objective Caml source-level replay debugger.Synopsis
ocamldebug [options] program [arguments]Description
Before the debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and linked with the -g option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part of the program should have been created with ocamlc -g, and they must be linked together with ocamlc -g.
Compiling with -g entails no penalty on the running time of programs: object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and take longer to produce, but the executable files run at exactly the same speed as if they had been compiled without -g.
Options
A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc package.- -c count

- -I directory
- Add directory to the list of directories searched for source files and compiled files. (See also the directory command.)
