Debugging
---------
You can debug crashing subdaemons with the argument
`--dev-debugger=lightning_channeld`, where `channeld` is the subdaemon name. It
will print out a command such as:
gdb -ex 'attach 22398' lightning_channeld -ex return
Run this command to start debugging. You may need to type `return` one more time
to exit the infinite while loop, otherwise you can type `continue` to begin.
Testing
