<h2>DebugClientBase</h2>
<p>
Module implementing the client side of the debugger.
</p><p>
It provides access to the Ruby interpeter from a debugger running in another
process.
</p><p>
The protocol between the debugger and the client assumes that there will be
a single source of debugger commands and a single source of Ruby
statements.  Commands and statement are always exactly one line and may be
interspersed.
</p><p>
The protocol is as follows.  First the client opens a connection to the
debugger and then sends a series of one line commands.  A command is either
&gt;Load&lt;, &gt;Step&lt;, &gt;StepInto&lt;, ... or a Ruby statement.
See DebugProtocol.rb for a listing of valid protocol tokens.
</p><p>
A Ruby statement consists of the statement to execute, followed (in a
separate line) by &gt;OK?&lt;.  If the statement was incomplete then the response
is &gt;Continue&lt;.  If there was an exception then the response is &gt;Exception&lt;.
Otherwise the response is &gt;OK&lt;.  The reason for the &gt;OK?&lt; part is to
provide a sentinal (ie. the responding &gt;OK&lt;) after any possible output as a
result of executing the command.
</p><p>
The client may send any other lines at any other time which should be
interpreted as program output.
</p><p>
If the debugger closes the session there is no response from the client.
The client may close the session at any time as a result of the script
being debugged closing or crashing.
</p><p>
<b>Note</b>: This module is meant to be mixed in by individual DebugClient classes.
Do not use it directly.
