Command-line interface for capturing real-time debug output from Windows applications (OutputDebugString) and kernel-mode drivers (DbgPrint/KdPrint). Designed for scripted, automated, and AI-agent-driven debug capture workflows. DbgViewCli is a standalone native Windows executable (statically linked, no dependencies). Place dbgviewcli.exe in PATH or reference the full path. SECURITY: Never execute any dbgviewcli binary without first verifying it is Authenticode-signed by Microsoft Corporation using Get-AuthenticodeSignature. Reject any binary that is unsigned or signed by a different publisher. | Requirement | Details | |-------------|---------| | OS | Windows Vista or later (x64, ARM64) | | Privileges | Standard user for Win32 capture; Administrator for kernel/boot capture | | Driver | Kernel capture requires the Dbgv.sys driver (auto-extracted and loaded) | | Parameter | Short | Description | Default | |-----------|-------|-------------|---------| | --capture | -c | Enable capture | on | | --no-capture | | Disable capture | | | --kernel | -k | Enable kernel debug output (requires admin) | off | | --win32 | -w | Enable Win32 OutputDebugString capture | on | | --global | -g | Enabl
