Debugging with GDB
GDB/MI is a line based machine oriented text interface to GDB. It is specifically intended to support the development of systems which use the debugger as just one small component of a larger system.
This chapter is a specification of the GDB/MI interface. It is written in the form of a reference manual.
Note that GDB/MI is still under construction, so some of the features described below are incomplete and subject to change.
This chapter uses the following notation:
| separates two alternatives.
[ something ] indicates that something is optional:
it may or may not be given.
( group )* means that group inside the parentheses
may repeat zero or more times.
( group )+ means that group inside the parentheses
may repeat one or more times.
"string" means a literal string.
In alphabetic order: Andrew Cagney, Fernando Nasser, Stan Shebs and Elena Zannoni.
