WinDbg Getting started with WinDbg Debuggers
Example
WinDbg is often used as an abbreviation of "Debugging tools for Windows". It contains different debuggers:
| Debugger | Description |
|---|---|
| WinDbg | the debugger with a graphical user interface |
| CDB | console debugger, user mode debugger which runs in the currently open console |
| NTSD | new terminal symbolic debugger, user mode debugger which opens a new terminal (console) as the name suggests |
| KD | the kernel debugger, which runs in the currrently open console |
| NTKD | new terminal kernel debugger, opens a new terminal |
The commands are identical, except that there may be GUI related commands which don't work in the console versions.
