I need some clarifications on how GDB works in the IDE environment on cloud9

Is there two things different types of debuggers that the IDE environment?

• Debugger, through debug command input which looks does step by step compilation / checks inputs? (for source file)

• GDB, which checks the executable program?

Also, how do you pass arguments into GDB? I can't seem to figure this out.

I'm looking at pset4 and want to run GDB on the executable "copy" and pass in an input and an output file name

how would i do that in the terminal
