Answer 2

I'm a few years late but, should someone else find their way here the following will be helpful: This website contains a multitude of ways in which lldb can do all of the same things as gdb. Of course, if you don't care about gdb you can always use the lldb commands list on its own. To answer the question more specifically, and this is repeated at the website linked above, you can do the following to run an executable that takes arguments:

lldb <executable>
(lldb) process launch -- <whatever your args may be e.g. a file path>

or

(lldb) run <args>

or just

(lldb) r <args>
