I am trying to find tools that I can use (from the command line) that
would help me to debug and/or learn more about how the programs I
write in C/C++ work, or things like the make system.  If these tools
have already been mentioned, or don't exist then that's ok. I was just
curious about what tools (if any) are available. I hope this helps
clarify what I was trying to ask.  Thank's
