<p>The Options dialog has a separate "pane" for Valkyrie and
40
Valgrind, as well as for each (supported) Valgrind tool.
41
Any flag or option which can be set on the command line is available
42
for modification via this dialog. In addition, Valkyrie has a
43
number of preference options that can only be set via this dialog.
45
<p>On first-time startup, all options are set to their installation
46
defaults. These can be changed via both the GUI and the command-line.

environment variable $BROWSER. If that also fails, some well
108
known browsers are tried. If a '-remote' command is given,

In Memcheck, the editor is launched when a stack frame is

double-clicked within Memcheck ToolView. A replacement string
161
"%n" is defined, which will be replaced with the target line number,
162
when available, to open up the editor on that line number.<br>
