I don’t understand how to use it

[Geobert]

Do I need to launch gdb myself like gdb -ex=r --args app arg1 arg2 ?

After launching heretek, you should be dropped into a shell where you can run normal gdb commands.

Thanks!
I did

• file my_app (my_app is in the PATH)
• r debug -D ~/a_dir

I got:

r debug -D ~/dsa-db                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         │
