+**********************
+Debugging with kresctl
+**********************
+
+Knot Resolver is made up of several independent components,
+so it can be difficult to debug the individual parts.
+To help with this, there is an option in the kresctl utility
+that can run GDB-compatible debugger on a specific component of the resolver, see the ``debug`` command.
+
+.. program:: kresctl
+
+.. option:: pids
+
+    Lists the PIDs of the Manager's subprocesses, separated by newlines.
+
+    .. option:: --json
+
+        Makes the output more verbose, in JSON. In addition to the subprocesses'
+        PIDs, it also prints their types and statuses.
+
+    .. option:: [proc_type]
+
+        :default: all
+
+        Optional. The type of process to query. See :ref:`Subprocess types
+        <debugging-with-kresctl-subprocess-types>` for more info.
+
+
+.. option:: debug
+
+    Executes a GDB-compatible debugger and attaches it to the Manager's
+    subprocesses. By default, the debugger is ``gdb`` and the subprocesses are
+    only the ``kresd`` workers.
+
+    .. warning::
+
+        The ``debug`` command is a utility for Knot Resolver developers and is
+        not intended to be used by end-users. Running this command **will** make
+        your resolver unresponsive.
+
+    .. note::
+
+        Modern kernels will prevent debuggers from tracing processes that are
+        not their descendants, which is exactly the scenario that happens with
+        ``kresctl debug``. There are three ways to work around this, listed in
+        the order in which they are preferred in terms of security:
+
+          1. Grant the debugger the ``cap_sys_ptrace`` capability
+             (**recommended**)
+
+              * For ``gdb``, this may be achieved by using the ``setcap``
+                command like so:
+
+                .. code-block:: bash
+
+                    sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace=eip /usr/bin/gdb
+
+          2. Run the debugger as root
+
+              * You may use the ``--sudo`` option to achieve this
+
+          3. Set ``/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope`` to ``0``
+
+              * This will allow **all** programs in your current session to
+                trace each other. Handle with care!
+
+    .. note::
+
+        This command will only work if executed on the same machine where Knot
+        Resolver is running. Remote debugging is currently not supported.
+
+    .. option:: [proc_type]
+
+        :default: kresd
+
+        Optional. The type of process to debug. See :ref:`Subprocess types
+        <debugging-with-kresctl-subprocess-types>` for more info.
+
+    .. option:: --sudo
+
+        Run the debugger with sudo.
+
+    .. option:: --gdb <command>
+
+        Use a custom GDB executable. This may be a command on ``PATH``, or an
+        absolute path to an executable.
+
+    .. option:: --print-only
+
+        Prints the GDB command line into ``stderr`` as a Python array, does not
+        execute GDB.
+
+
+.. _debugging-with-kresctl-subprocess-types:
+
+Subprocess types
+----------------
+
+Some of ``kresctl``'s commands (like :option:`pids` and :option:`debug`) take a subprocess
+type value determining which subprocesses will be affected by them. The possible
+values are as follows:
+
+* ``kresd`` -- the worker daemons
+* ``gc`` -- the cache garbage collector
+* ``all`` -- all of the Manager's subprocesses
