+# $EPIC: debug.irc.txt,v 1.2 2006/07/26 19:47:17 sthalik Exp $
+======Synopsis:======
+[[load]] debug.irc \\
+debug_section \\
+debug_endsection
+======Description:======
+This script provides an example of how to effectively debug sections
+of code in large scripts, or while other scripts are loaded.
+It consists of two aliases, which are inserted into the code to be
+debugged to turn debugging on/off where needed.
+======Usage:======
+Place the debug_section command inside the alias or hook you wish to
+debug, just before the code to be debugged (note that if placed outside
+of an alias or hook, it will only debug the LOADING of that hook, which
+probably isnt what you want.)
+Place the debug_endsection command at the end of the section to be
+debugged.
+======Files:======
+Logging is switched to the file epic.dbg in the current directory
+while debugging is active. The state of logging is restored to
+as it was before debugging was started.
+======Bugs:======
+Switching logfiles while the debugging script is inside a section
+being debugged won't work, the debugger will reset to the logging
+state at the point where the debugging routine was called.
