Greg Clayton d879a6305b Added a python FAQ page with detailed examples of how to add python functions
to breakpoints, creating new LLDB commands using python modules and also how
to run scripts from the command line.

<p>LLDB supports a broad variety of basic debugging features such as
reading DWARF, supporting step, next, finish, backtraces, etc. Some
more interested bits are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Plug-in architecture for portability and extensibility:</li>
<ul>
<li>Object file parsers for executable file formats. Support currently
includes Mach-O (32 and 64-bit) &amp; ELF (32-bit).</li>
<li>Object container parsers to extract object files contained within a file.
Support currently includes universal Mach-O files &amp; BSD Archives.
</li>
<li>Debug symbol file parsers to incrementally extract debug information from
object files. Support currently includes DWARF &amp; Mach-O symbol
tables.</li>
<li>Symbol vendor plug-ins collect data from a variety of different sources
for an executable object.</li>
<li>Disassembly plug-ins for each architecture. Support currently includes
an LLVM disassembler for <a href="http://blog.llvm.org/2010/01/x86-disassembler.html">i386, x86-64</a>
, &amp; ARM/Thumb.</li>
<li>Debugger plug-ins implement the host and target specific functions
required to debug.</li>
</ul>
<li>SWIG-generated script bridging allows Python to access and control the
public API of the debugger library.</li>
<li>A remote protocol server, debugserver, implements Mac OS X debugging on
i386 and x86-64.</li>
<li>A command line debugger - the lldb executable itself.</li>
<li>A framework API to the library.</li>
</ul>
