==name showdebug

==short-description

Redirects RDebug::Print to the console.

==long-description

Uses the clogger debugrouter LDD to intercept Kern::Printf and RDebug::Print calls and redirect them to the console. Similar to C<cloggerconfig --rdebug> but without all the features clogger layers on top, more focussed on just printing the rdebug data.

There can only be one client of the clogger debugrouter, which means you cannot run multiple instances of the showdebug command at the same time.

==argument string process optional

If specified, showdebug will launch the given process and redirect RDebug until the process exits. If not specified it will do so indefinitely or until CTRL-C is pressed.

==argument string arguments optional last

Arguments to pass to process.

==option bool v verbose multiple

If specified, the timestamp and the originating thread of each trace are also printed. If specified twice (ie -vv) thread IDs are additionally expanded to full thread names.

==option bool f filter

Only display traces that came directly from threads belonging to the process you specified. Use with caution, you may miss traces that are I<about> your process but not directly emitted I<by> it. If the origin of a trace cannot be identified it will be shown even if C<--filter> is specified.
