 - launch + debug (builds and launches, like 'dlv debug')

 - launch + replay (replays an rr trace, like 'dlv replay')
 - launch + core (replays a core dump file, like 'dlv core')
 - attach + local (attaches to a running process, like 'dlv attach')
+Program and output binary paths will be interpreted relative to dlv's working directory.

 The server does not yet accept multiple client connections (--accept-multiclient).
 While --continue is not supported, stopOnEntry launch/attach attribute can be used to control if
 execution is resumed at the start of the debug session.
