SYNOPSIS        cdb\b\b\b___ [ core [ a.out ] ]
.sp

DESCRIPTION     cdb\b\b\b___
is a debugging program for use with C programs.
It is by no means completed,
and this section is essentially only a placeholder
for the actual description.

Cdb resembles db\b\b__ in many respects, except that
all integers are decimal.

Even the present cdb\b\b\b___ has one useful feature:
the command 

       $

will give a stack
trace
of the core image of a terminated C program.
The calls are listed in the order made;
the actual arguments to each routine are given
in octal.
