Overview

The initial version was written by Stephen R. Bourne. [2]

ADB was provided with Solaris until Solaris 8 (2000), when it was replaced by the Modular Debugger (mdb) with Solaris 8 (2000) and the ADB command-line interface now is emulated by mdb when it is called as adb. Mdb has become open source with OpenSolaris. [3] The SunOS kernel debugger kadb that was introduced with SunOS 3.5 (1986) is a minor variant of adb.
