NAME
       pdb2mdb - Program Database to Mono Debugging Symbol converter.

SYNOPSIS
       pdb2mdb pdb_file

DESCRIPTION
       This tool is used to convert debugging symbols generated	by Microsoft's
       compilers  into	debugging  symbols that	can be consumed	by Mono's run-
       time.

       Program Database	files are files	that end with the extension  .pdb  and
       are  associated	with  a	 library  or executable	(a .dll	or .exe	file).
       This format was until recently not documented so	Mono used its own file
       format for storing debugging information, the Mono debugging format.

       Just like PDB files Mono	Debugging information is stored	in files  that
       reside side-by-side with	a program executable or	a library.

       You  can	 use  the  pdb2mdb  tool to transform these PDB	files into MDB
       files that Mono can then	consume	to debug programs or provide line-num-
       ber information for stack traces	or exceptions.

LICENSE
       The pdb2mdb tool	is  released under the terms of	the  Microsoft	Public
       License	(MS-PL).   JB  Evain wrote the tool.   The PDB reading support
       came from Microsoft Common Compiler Infrastructure.
