3.6 Command-line flags for the Valgrind core

As mentioned above, Valgrind's core accepts a common set of flags. The tools also accept tool-specific flags, which are documented separately for each tool.

You invoke Valgrind like this:

valgrind [valgrind-options] your-prog [your-prog-options]

Valgrind's default settings succeed in giving reasonable behaviour in most cases. We group the available options by rough categories.
