Detailed Description

C++ kernel debugger API.

Attention: This API is subject to change! Do not rely on it in production code.

This API is to be used for debugging exclusively.

This is the API for accessing kernel-debugger functionality from user-level programs. Specifically, it provides functionality to enrich the kernel debugger with insights into the program. The purpose is to facilitate debugging with the kernel debugger. For instance, a developer might choose to name the threads of her program so that she can find them in the kernel debugger thread list.

This API interacts with a kernel object that interfaces with the kernel debugger, the jdb-kernel object. The jdb-kernel object is fix and only available when the kernel debugger is built into the microkernel. The developer needs to pass the capability through to her program.
