           Summary: winedbg and its man page should use "wpid"
                    consistently for Windows' process ID
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.15
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winedbg
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: info at skierpage.com


I couldn't figure out why winedbg complained "Can't attach process 42db: error
87" when I typed "attach 17115".  I know the PID of my Windows executable, as
provided by top, ps, System Activity, etc.

You need to supply the *Wine/Windows PID* of the process, e.g. using the "info
process" command to winedbg, and this *isn't* the UNIX pid.  This is mentioned
further down in winedbg(1), but it would be so much clearer if the man page,
the "info process" command and other documentation consistently used "wpid", as
 http://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/debugger does.

There is missing help that also needs to use "wpid":
* winedbg --help's usage output doesn't mention the --auto wpid usage (though I
couldn't get this to work).
* the help command within winedbg doesn't mention "attach wpid"
