+ <para>Starting with LLDB 12.0.0, remote debugging is supported
+ on &os;. This means that <command>lldb-server</command>
+ can be started to debug a program on one host, while
+ the interactive <command>lldb</command> client connects
+ to it from another one.</para>

+ <para>To launch a new process to be debugged remotely, run

+ by typing</para>

+ <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>lldb-server g <replaceable>host:port</replaceable> -- <replaceable>progname</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>The process will be stopped immediately after launching,
