Due to some very old mistakes too many of Delve's flags are declared as persistent on cobra's root command. For example the headless flag is a global flag but does not apply to connect, dap or trace; the backend flag does not apply to replay, core and dap; etc. Almost all global flags should have been declared as local flags on individual subcommands. Unfortunately we can not change this without breaking backwards compatibility, for example: dlv --headless debug would not parse if headless was a flag of debug instead of a global flag. Instead we alter usage function and the markdown generation script to strategically hide the flags that don't apply. Fixes #2361

Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language.
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
Delve is a source level debugger for Go programs.
|
|
|
|
Delve enables you to interact with your program by controlling the execution of the process,
|
|
evaluating variables, and providing information of thread / goroutine state, CPU register state and more.
|
|
|
|
The goal of this tool is to provide a simple yet powerful interface for debugging Go programs.
|
|
|
|
Pass flags to the program you are debugging using `--`, for example:
|
|
|
|
`dlv exec ./hello -- server --config conf/config.toml`
|
|
|
|
### Options
