systems.
-interpreter interp
Use the interpreter interp for interface with the
controlling program or device. This option is meant to
be set by programs which communicate with GDB using
it as a back end. For example, '--interpreter=mi'
causes GDB to use the gdbmi interface (see “The GDB/MI
Interface” (page 307)).
-write
Open the executable and core files for both reading and
writing. This is equivalent to the 'set write on'
command inside GDB (see “Patching programs”
(page 122)).
-statistics
This option causes GDB to print statistics about time and
memory usage after it completes each command and
returns to the prompt.
-version
This option causes GDB to print its version number and
no-warranty blurb, and exit.
-pid
This option causes GDB to attach to a running process.
-inline
This option causes the debugger to start with the inline
debugging on.
-src_no_g
This option is used to set the limited source level
debugging without compiling.
2.1.3 Redirecting WDB input and output to a file
To redirect WDB input and output to a file, use either of these commands to start the
debugger:
$ script log1
$ gdb
or
$ gdb | tee log1
2.2 Quitting GDB
quit [expression], q To exit GDB, use the quit command (abbreviated q), or
type an end-of-file character (usually C-d). If you do not
supply expression, GDB will terminate normally; otherwise
it will terminate using the result of expression as the error
code.
An interrupt (often C-c) does not exit from GDB, but rather terminates the action of
any GDB command that is in progress and returns to GDB command level. It is safe to
