These are collections of debug symbols for the various binaries installed in the system. If you ever need to eg. generate a back trace as part of a bug report, they mean that each frame will be identified by function name and so forth -- in effect they mean that you can run gdb against any binary in the system and achieve meaningful results. Since they are stored separately from the binaries you're running they have no deleterious effect on normal system usage. Aside from taking up a bit of disk space, you won't suffer any ill effects from having them. I believe all of the debug files are installed under /usr/lib/debug -- se= e https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/etc/mtree/BSD.debug.dist Cheers, Matthew --ag4diwYWwlIB6Z9z71WolNcv7RUJbpJCr-- --AaYW2slBwLVTdDmOVPLDPrQpDKWU6SDu0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEGfFU7L8RLlBUTj8wAFE/EOCp5OcFAl18xTVfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDE5 RjE1NEVDQkYxMTJFNTA1NDRFM0YzMDAwNTEzRjEwRTBBOUU0RTcACgkQAFE/EOCp 5OdQXA/+K6ipeahKqVWscvL37tnHbl8Z7fVArNOtWXhUQtrOUCu7cwahreE2MKKt FiXr4Q/azcb1JJOFzb/tj8tjA9yDlX7wZLDn7fLdVdAEmeCaeTblp81872Pc04us t+z3oQdUCc8S7gKFmoWRWzi3wVJt+aefmtOxwIzBsThTmW183VSin5swHGucPCxR 0PAN+ZGGHIrprQaSyWQlY27OwTH8SAI3+ERGQJM1cXQoW+8vRHGti6JndXc4qrTV jgaPzVcO2sVdH3iNjXn/VMpdRxBz3KdlNo0TTDTY3SnwssMyaSMdU6rGj9pfWgPE FfrZ9YqQ6M7zKVhkpppz5WPDFNXI0Zln5MlepmizEmOdf7ygB2dXw7rgoIeUo7Gr prn70MldAhksGHlBEXSq5ERaW/shEId6PDqIcHw6ykeg01+IS+loLnBwsfFeaR48 sZMTsfx0VqyqoFwLuMAkawRnYSXc1AmmA4TFsx+xY1Ywc679aXIhkPcJQoFkt1QE fdeyYuTrUGMTUPF58D4pxJ9oOEINqAxHOrL2Zz5EDfQuRH6hTqQdGgOmRlOXgU4E 0ZZUcR02eYrYOEffn52sQIMENo6l01aeodf3iPgBmWDG19OImyeOCNNkMp0KwaSE /o6ycoazRe6aoSmdi0fSeKlUUvGwrABLa+Is791P2CiRcocjbGE= =DIAt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AaYW2slBwLVTdDmOVPLDPrQpDKWU6SDu0--
