SYNOPSIS
       winpdb,	rpdb2  [-h,  --help]  [-d, --debuggee]	[-a, --attach]	[-o, --host]  [-r, --remote]  [-e, --encrypt]  [-p, --pwd]  [-s, --screen]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       winpdb is a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which is capable to debug threads- and curses-based code.

OPTIONS
       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       -h	    --help
		 Print the program's help.

       -d	    --debuggee
		 Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger console.

       -a	    --attach
		 Attach to an already started debuggee.

       -o	    --host
		 Specify host for attachment.

       -r	    --remote
		 Allow debuggees to accept connections from remote machines.

       -e	    --encrypt
		 Force encrypted connections between debugger and debuggees.

       -p	    --pwd
