Debugging Linux Applications locally

You may either start a local debugging session on a new process or start a local debugging session and attach it to an existing process. Both options are accessible through the command line.

idal -rlinux MY_PROGRAM

will start the program, create a temporary database that allows the user to work with the target at once.

The command

idal -rlinux+

will offer you a choice of running processes to connect to.

select_local_process

and we can proceed with our local Linux debugging session.
