# LoadDbgFile ## Description Load a debug information file (DBG). This command loads a DBG file. If the program being disassembled has a companion DBG file, then this command may be used to load information from a DBG file into the database. IDA loads DBG files automatically if it can find them in the directory with the input file. The built-in debug information loader cannot load NB10 format files and PDB files. To load those files, please use a special plugin, PDB.DLL, which can be run manually using Edit → Plugins submenu. This plugin uses MS Windows DLLs to load the debug information and therefore has the following limitations: * it works only under MS Windows * it will load only PDBs compatible with the currently installed IMAGEHLP.DLL --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
