As in every Linux system, there are tools you can use to debug the kernel and to debug user space programs on the mainframe. Naturally, a lot of the tools you use on other Linux systems work here too, such as LTT, dprobes, rgbd, and kdb. As the subject of the book is the mainframe, we will concentrate on tools particular to the mainframe, and only skim over the Linux tools, for which there are readily available descriptions.
Table 22-2 lists some tools for Linux debugging. Detailed information about the tools can be found in the corresponding info- and man pages.
