<p>A symbolics file contains debugging information that the IDE generates for a computer program. The debugger uses this information to control program execution. For example, the debugger uses the symbolics file to find the source code that corresponds to the executing object code of the computer program.</p>

<p>The IDE supports several types of symbolics files. Some programs generate separate symbolic files, while others do not. For example, when you use the Freescale CodeView on Windows program, the IDE places the symbolics file inside the generated binary file.</p>
