-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The purpose of a debugger such as GDB is to allow you to see what is
-going on ``inside'' another program while it executes\(em\&or what another
-program was doing at the moment it crashed.
-
-GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of
-these) to help you catch bugs in the act:
-
-.TP
-\ \ \ \(bu
-Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
-
-.TP
-\ \ \ \(bu
-Make your program stop on specified conditions.
-
-.TP
-\ \ \ \(bu
-Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
-
-.TP
-\ \ \ \(bu
-Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the
-effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.
-.PP
-
-You can use GDB to debug programs written in C, C++, and Modula-2.
-Fortran support will be added when a GNU Fortran compiler is ready.
-
-GDB is invoked with the shell command \c
-.B gdb\c
-\&. Once started, it reads
-commands from the terminal until you tell it to exit with the GDB
-command \c
-.B quit\c
-\&. You can get online help from \c
-.B gdb\c
-\& itself
-by using the command \c
-.B help\c
-\&.
-
-You can run \c
-.B gdb\c
-\& with no arguments or options; but the most
-usual way to start GDB is with one argument or two, specifying an
-executable program as the argument:
-.sp
-.br
-gdb\ program
-.br
-.sp
-
-You can also start with both an executable program and a core file specified:
-.sp
-.br
-gdb\ program\ core
-.br
-.sp
-
-You can, instead, specify a process ID as a second argument, if you want
-to debug a running process:
-.sp
-.br
-gdb\ program\ 1234
-.br
-.sp
-
-would attach GDB to process \c
-.B 1234\c
-\& (unless you also have a file
-named `\|\c
-.B 1234\c
-\&\|'; GDB does check for a core file first).
-
-Here are some of the most frequently needed GDB commands:
-.TP
-.B break \fR[\|\fIfile\fB:\fR\|]\fIfunction
-\&
-Set a breakpoint at \c
-.I function\c
-\& (in \c
-.I file\c
-\&).
-.TP
-.B run \fR[\|\fIarglist\fR\|]
-Start your program (with \c
-.I arglist\c
-\&, if specified).
-.TP
-.B bt
-Backtrace: display the program stack.
-.TP
-.BI print " expr"\c
-\&
-Display the value of an expression.
-.TP
-.B c
-Continue running your program (after stopping, e.g. at a breakpoint).
-.TP
-.B next
-Execute next program line (after stopping); step \c
-.I over\c
-\& any
-function calls in the line.
-.TP
-.B step
-Execute next program line (after stopping); step \c
-.I into\c
-\& any
-function calls in the line.
-.TP
-.B help \fR[\|\fIname\fR\|]
-Show information about GDB command \c
-.I name\c
-\&, or general information
-about using GDB.
-.TP
-.B quit
-Exit from GDB.
-.PP
-For full details on GDB, see \c
-.I
-Using GDB: A Guide to the GNU Source-Level Debugger\c
-\&, by Richard M. Stallman and Roland H. Pesch. The same text is available online
-as the \c
-.B gdb\c
-\& entry in the \c
-.B info\c
-\& program.
-.SH OPTIONS
-Any arguments other than options specify an executable
-file and core file (or process ID); that is, the first argument
-encountered with no
-associated option flag is equivalent to a `\|\c
-.B \-se\c
-\&\|' option, and the
-second, if any, is equivalent to a `\|\c
-.B \-c\c
-\&\|' option if it's the name of a file. Many options have
-both long and short forms; both are shown here. The long forms are also
-recognized if you truncate them, so long as enough of the option is
-present to be unambiguous. (If you prefer, you can flag option
-arguments with `\|\c
-.B +\c
-\&\|' rather than `\|\c
-.B \-\c
-\&\|', though we illustrate the
-more usual convention.)
-
-All the options and command line arguments you give are processed
-in sequential order. The order makes a difference when the
-`\|\c
-.B \-x\c
-\&\|' option is used.
-
-.TP
-.B \-help
-.TP
-.B \-h
-List all options, with brief explanations.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-symbols=" "file"\c
-.TP
-.BI "\-s " "file"\c
-\&
-Read symbol table from file \c
-.I file\c
-\&.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-exec=" "file"\c
-.TP
-.BI "\-e " "file"\c
-\&
-Use file \c
-.I file\c
-\& as the executable file to execute when
-appropriate, and for examining pure data in conjunction with a core
-dump.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-se=" "file"\c
-\&
-Read symbol table from file \c
-.I file\c
-\& and use it as the executable
-file.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-core=" "file"\c
-.TP
-.BI "\-c " "file"\c
-\&
-Use file \c
-.I file\c
-\& as a core dump to examine.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-command=" "file"\c
-.TP
-.BI "\-x " "file"\c
-\&
-Execute GDB commands from file \c
-.I file\c
-\&.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-directory=" "directory"\c
-.TP
-.BI "\-d " "directory"\c
-\&
-Add \c
-.I directory\c
-\& to the path to search for source files.
-.PP
-
-.TP
-.B \-nx
-.TP
-.B \-n
-Do not execute commands from any `\|\c
-.B .gdbinit\c
-\&\|' initialization files.
-Normally, the commands in these files are executed after all the
-command options and arguments have been processed.
-
-
-.TP
-.B \-quiet
-.TP
-.B \-q
-``Quiet''. Do not print the introductory and copyright messages. These
-messages are also suppressed in batch mode.
-
-.TP
-.B \-kernel
-.TP
-.B \-k
-Puts GDB into kernel debugging mode. If no executable file is specified then
-/kernel is used. If no core file is specified then /dev/mem is
-used. Crash dumps can be examined by specifying both an executable and
-a core file.
-
-.TP
-.B \-wcore
-.TP
-.B \-w
-This flag is only effective when debugging a "live" kernel. It makes the
-core file (/dev/mem) writable so that kernel variables can be changed
-during a debugging session. Use this with caution !
-
-.TP
-.B \-batch
-Run in batch mode. Exit with status \c
-.B 0\c
-\& after processing all the command
-files specified with `\|\c
-.B \-x\c
-\&\|' (and `\|\c
-.B .gdbinit\c
-\&\|', if not inhibited).
-Exit with nonzero status if an error occurs in executing the GDB
-commands in the command files.
-
-Batch mode may be useful for running GDB as a filter, for example to
-download and run a program on another computer; in order to make this
-more useful, the message
-.sp
-.br
-Program\ exited\ normally.
-.br
-.sp
-
-(which is ordinarily issued whenever a program running under GDB control
-terminates) is not issued when running in batch mode.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-cd=" "directory"\c
-\&
-Run GDB using \c
-.I directory\c
-\& as its working directory,
-instead of the current directory.
-
-.TP
-.B \-fullname
-.TP
-.B \-f
-Emacs sets this option when it runs GDB as a subprocess. It tells GDB
-to output the full file name and line number in a standard,
-recognizable fashion each time a stack frame is displayed (which
-includes each time the program stops). This recognizable format looks
-like two `\|\c
-.B \032\c
-\&\|' characters, followed by the file name, line number
-and character position separated by colons, and a newline. The
-Emacs-to-GDB interface program uses the two `\|\c
-.B \032\c
-\&\|' characters as
-a signal to display the source code for the frame.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-b " "bps"\c
-\&
-Set the line speed (baud rate or bits per second) of any serial
-interface used by GDB for remote debugging.
-
-.TP
-.BI "\-tty=" "device"\c
-\&
-Run using \c
-.I device\c
-\& for your program's standard input and output.
