Voltron is an extensible debugger UI toolkit written in Python. It aims to improve the user experience of various debuggers (LLDB, GDB, VDB and WinDbg) by enabling the attachment of utility views that can retrieve and display data from the debugger host. By running these views in other TTYs, you can build a customised debugger user interface to suit your needs.

If your debugger has an init script (.lldbinit for LLDB or .gdbinit for GDB) configure it to load Voltron when it starts by sourcing the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/voltron/entry.py entry point script.

•LLDB

command script import /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/voltron/entry.py

•GDB

source /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/voltron/entry.py
voltron init
set disassembly-flavor intel

The following are valid view name in voltron:

•backtrace, t, bt, back

backtrace view

•register, r, reg

register values

•breakpoints, b, bp, break

breakpoints view

•command, c, cmd

run a command each time the debugger host stops

•memory, m, mem

display a chunk of memory

•disasm, d, dis

disassembly view

•stack, s, st

display a chunk of stack memory
