## Description

dbug() dlog() ddbug()

### dbug Basics

#### Debugging

Call with up to three arguments:
 <?php // output a variable dbug( $var );

    ```
        // output a variable with a title           
        dbug( $debug, 'Testing' );

        // output a variable with a title and information from the last 6 steps from debug_backtrace
        dbug( $somevalue, 'Trying to figure some shit out', 6 );
    }
    ```

or use `ddbug` to dbug and die.

 <?php // log a variable dlog( $val );

    ```

        dlog( $buggy, 'what is $buggy' );

        // log a variable with a title into the file 'bug_trap'
