        <p>To use gdb you need to compile program with -g flag. To
        debug a program;</p>

        <pre>
        gdb program
        </pre>

        <p>If the program needs arguments you can set it;</p>

        <pre>
        (gdb)set args -parameter1 -parameter2
        </pre>

        <p>To start the program you can type run, this way gdb
        will try to run the program until the end. If program
        crash, gdb will stop it for debuging.</p>

        <pre>
        (gdb) run
        </pre>

        <pre>
        n - execute next line
        s - step in next line
        b - backtrace
        info locals
        print
        x
        </pre>
