In order to use
attach_gdb() and/or to read debug channel states from an external file, you should call
read_rcfile(), for example,
read_rcfile() can be used to turn on or off debug
channels, but you still have to turn on the debug
object(s); in particular the debug object
libcw_do that is used to print WARNING messages in case something is wrong with your rcfile.The default rcfile is
.libcwdrc
(you can change that by setting the environment variable
LIBCWD_RCFILE_NAME ). The application will first attempt to read this file from the
current directory. If that fails then it will try to read the rcfile from the users
home directory. If that fails too then it will fall back to reading
<install-prefix>/share/libcwd/libcwdrc
. You can use the latter as a template and/or
example
file for writing your own rcfile.
