That's how quickly you get a bad reputation :-).

It's to a degree similar to GDB.  I'm using the cheat sheet from
https://lldb.llvm.org/use/map.html if in doubt.  That's how experts do.

cd src
lldb --local-lldbinit emacs

You should see "Emacs support has been loaded".  If not, you can load it
later with

command script import ../etc/emacs_lldb.py

To start Emacs

run <args...>

where <args...> are command-line options for Emacs.  When back in lldb
because of the signal, use bt, up, down, and p as you would in GDB.
With emacs_lldb.py loaded, you can also use xbacktrace and xdebug_print.
