Overview
The initial version was written by Stephen R. Bourne.[2]
ADB was provided with Solaris until Solaris 8 (2000), when it was replaced by the Modular Debugger (mdb) with Solaris 8 (2000) and the ADB command-line interface now is emulated by mdb when it is called as adb. Mdb has become OpenSource with OpenSolaris.[3] The Solaris kernel debugger kadb that was introduced with SunOS-3.5 (1986) is a minor variant of adb.
