The advanced debugger adb is the standard UNIX debugger found on Solaris 1 and 2, HP-UX and SCO. The initial version has been written by Steve Bourne. It is the successor of a debugger called db.

ADB is the standard debugger on Solaris and the Solaris kernel debugger kadb is a minor variant of adb.

A version of ADB was integrated into the BSD kernel as a kernel debugger.

Use of ADB was largely replaced by the symbolic debugger DBX.
