Автор зачем-то приводит заголовок файла dbug.c из исходников пакета (вместе со всеми комментариями к нему). Приведу его и я, поскольку это может быть продиктовано какими-либо юридическими проблемами с копирайтом. Поскольку я не юрист, привожу этот заголовок без какого-либо перевода (во избежание ошибок или искажения смысла юридического документа при переводе).

* @(#)dbug.c 1.25 7/25/89
*
* DESCRIPTION
* These are the runtime support routines for the dbug package.
* The dbug package has two main components; the user include
* file containing various macro definitions, and the runtime
* support routines which are called from the macro expansions.
*
* Externally visible functions in the runtime support module
* use the naming convention pattern "_db_xx...xx_", thus
* they are unlikely to collide with user defined function names.

* DBUG_DUMP - To dump a piece of memory.
* PUSH_FLAG "O" - To be used instead of "o" if we don't
* want flushing (for slow systems)
* Check of malloc on entry/exit (option "S")
