The output +window captures text that is written to stdout and stderr by the program +being debugged.</p> +<p>The output window does not allow to type input for the program and it +features only minimal terminal emulation: <tt>\n</tt> (line-feed), +<tt>\t</tt> (horizontal tab), and <tt>\r</tt> (carriage-return) +are treated. These capabilities are usually sufficient to debug GUI programs +which only write debugging output to stdout and stderr.</p> +<p>When a program is debugged with KDbg for the first time, the program +output window is <em>not</em> used. The reason for this is that KDbg cannot +know whether the program requires sophisticated terminal emulation or if +it expects input through a terminal. So, a terminal emulator program is +used by default.
