.SH NAME
dbgif \- Establish a link between the host workstation and the game target
.SH SYNOPSIS
\f3dbgif\f1 [-d]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I dbgif
program provides a link between gvd, the debugger running on the host
development workstation, and the game system development board.
.I dbgif
must be running to use the
.I gvd
debugger (GameShop).
.PP
Invoking
.I dbgif
with no options is usually sufficient for most of its intended purposes.
Options are provided more for purposes of troubleshooting the operation
of
.I gvd
itself, since the debugger is highly dependent on the target system software
being well-behaved.
The
.B \-d
option captures all traffic between host and target into a file. This file
can get very large over a long debug session.
.SH FILES
/dev/u64				Device file for communicating with target
/usr/tmp/dbgif.log		The communication packet log file
