## dlv exec

Execute a precompiled binary, and begin a debug session.

### Synopsis


Execute a precompiled binary and begin a debug session.

This command will cause Delve to exec the binary and immediately attach to it to
begin a new debug session. Please note that if the binary was not compiled with
optimizations disabled, it may be difficult to properly debug it. Please
consider compiling debugging binaries with -gcflags="-N -l".

```
dlv exec <path/to/binary>
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --accept-multiclient   Allows a headless server to accept multiple client connections. Note that the server API is not reentrant and clients will have to coordinate.
      --api-version int      Selects API version when headless. (default 1)
      --backend string       Backend selection:
	default		Uses lldb on macOS, native everywhere else.

      --log                  Enable debugging server logging.
      --log-output string    Comma separated list of components that should produce debug output, possible values:
	debugger	Log debugger commands
	gdbwire		Log connection to gdbserial backend
	lldbout		Copy output from debugserver/lldb to standard output
	debuglineerr	Log recoverable errors reading .debug_line
	rpc		Log all RPC messages
	fncall		Log function call protocol
