+CGDB is a curses (terminal-based) interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB). Its goal
+is to be lightweight and responsive; not encumbered with unnecessary features.
+
+The primary feature of CGDB is the constant presence of a source display,
+updated as the program executes, to help keep you focused while debugging.
+The interface is inspired by the classic Unix text editor, vi. Those familiar
+with vi (or vim) should feel right at home using CGDB.
