ReadDebugString is a small Windows-only utility that reads messages from the Windows debugger, identifies the originating process, and writes formatted messages to standard error.

The project uses CMake. From the project directory:

cmake -S . -B _build
cmake --build _build --config Release

Detailed installation and usage instructions are in INSTALL.md.

The project creates a single executable program, ReadDebugString.

With no arguments, the program waits for and displays messages from the Windows debugger. Use --help or --version for commands that terminate immediately.
