DDT is a family of debuggers with some common characteristics:

  • Most commands are invoked with a single key, plus modifiers.
  • Altmode or Escape is used as a prefix modifier.
  • Arguments are commonly prefixed to the command.

DDT was first implemented at MIT for a PDP-1 computer. It was then implemented for PDP-6, 10, and 11 computers at MIT. It was also widely used at DEC.
