DBX is a proprietary source-level debugger found primarily on Solaris, AIX, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX, GNU/Linux and BSD operating systems. It provides symbolic debugging for programs written in C, C++, Pascal, Fortran and Java. Useful features include stepping through programs one source line or machine instruction at a time.
