debugdetect

Overview ¶

Package debugdetect provides utilities for detecting if a program is running under a debugger.

This is useful for applications that need to modify their behavior when being debugged, such as TUI applications that need to wait for debugger attachment before continuing startup.

Example usage:

attached, err := debugdetect.IsDebuggerAttached()
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("Failed to detect debugger: %v", err)
}
if !attached {
	fmt.Println("Waiting for debugger...")
	for {
		if attached, _ := debugdetect.IsDebuggerAttached(); attached {
			break
		}
		time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
	}
}

Supported platforms: linux, darwin, windows, freebsd Detects: ptrace-based debuggers (Delve, gdb, lldb, etc.)
