Is there some known issue with issuing LLDB commands over SSH? I’m on my windows machine and I used Powershell (with Windows 10) to remote into my iMac and issued the `lldb -f /bin/ls` command. When I do a ‘process launch’ it fails to attach. I tried it in Putty and it fails to attach. If I type it directly into my iMacs terminal, it works as described in the book.

Am I missing something here on why I can’t remotely debug over an SSH connection?

I should have googled harder… Answer is here: [lldb attaching to a process on OS X from an ssh session - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27238931/lldb-attaching-to-a-process-on-os-x-from-an-ssh-session).
