Derek Parker 3e60ae202b *: Add --tty flag for debug / exec
This flag allows users on UNIX systems to set the tty for the program
being debugged by Delve. This is useful for debugging command line
applications which need access to their own TTY, and also for
controlling the output of the debugged programs so that IDEs may open a
dedicated terminal to show the output for the process.

dlv exec

Execute a precompiled binary, and begin a debug session.

Synopsis

Execute a precompiled binary and begin a debug session.

This command will cause Delve to exec the binary and immediately attach to it to begin a new debug session. Please note that if the binary was not compiled with optimizations disabled, it may be difficult to properly debug it. Please consider compiling debugging binaries with -gcflags="all=-N -l" on Go 1.10 or later, -gcflags="-N -l" on earlier versions of Go.

dlv exec <path/to/binary>

Options

      --continue     Continue the debugged process on start.
      --tty string   TTY to use for the target program
