 * A Blink debug agent. This agent provides two key functionalities. First, the
 * agent allows the Java debugger to yield its control to the native debugger
 * and vice versa. Second, this agent informs the Java debugger of the JVM
 * internal information such as the string representation of a Java method and
 * the JVM process identifier.
