+@c man end
+
+@c man begin DESCRIPTION gdb
+The purpose of a debugger such as @value{GDBN} is to allow you to see what is
+going on ``inside'' another program while it executes -- or what another
+program was doing at the moment it crashed.
+
+@value{GDBN} can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of
+these) to help you catch bugs in the act:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
+
+@item
+Make your program stop on specified conditions.
+
+@item
+Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
+
+@item
+Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the
+effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.
+@end itemize
+
+You can use @value{GDBN} to debug programs written in C, C@t{++}, and Modula-2.
+Fortran support will be added when a GNU Fortran compiler is ready.
+
+@value{GDBN} is invoked with the shell command @code{gdb}. Once started, it reads
+commands from the terminal until you tell it to exit with the @value{GDBN}
+command @code{quit}. You can get online help from @value{GDBN} itself
+by using the command @code{help}.
+
+You can run @code{gdb} with no arguments or options; but the most
+usual way to start @value{GDBN} is with one argument or two, specifying an
+executable program as the argument:
+
+@smallexample
+gdb program
+@end smallexample
+
+You can also start with both an executable program and a core file specified:
+
+@smallexample
+gdb program core
+@end smallexample
+
+You can, instead, specify a process ID as a second argument, if you want
+to debug a running process:
+
+@smallexample
+gdb program 1234
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+would attach @value{GDBN} to process @code{1234} (unless you also have a file
+named @file{1234}; @value{GDBN} does check for a core file first).
+
+Here are some of the most frequently needed @value{GDBN} commands:
+
+@c pod2man highlights the right hand side of the @item lines.
+@table @env
+@item break [@var{file}:]@var{functiop}
+Set a breakpoint at @var{function} (in @var{file}).
+
+@item run [@var{arglist}]
+Start your program (with @var{arglist}, if specified).
+
+@item bt
+Backtrace: display the program stack.
+
+@item print @var{expr}
+Display the value of an expression.
+
+@item c
+Continue running your program (after stopping, e.g. at a breakpoint).
+
+@item next
+Execute next program line (after stopping); step @emph{over} any
+function calls in the line.
+
+@item edit [@var{file}:]@var{function}
+look at the program line where it is presently stopped.
+
+@item list [@var{file}:]@var{function}
+type the text of the program in the vicinity of where it is presently stopped.
+
+@item step
+Execute next program line (after stopping); step @emph{into} any
+function calls in the line.
+
+@item help [@var{name}]
+Show information about @value{GDBN} command @var{name}, or general information
+about using @value{GDBN}.
+
+@item quit
+Exit from @value{GDBN}.
+@end table
+
+@ifset man
+For full details on @value{GDBN},
+see @cite{Using GDB: A Guide to the GNU Source-Level Debugger},
+by Richard M. Stallman and Roland H. Pesch. The same text is available online
+as the @code{gdb} entry in the @code{info} program.
+@end ifset
+@c man end
+
+@c man begin OPTIONS gdb
+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 @option{-se} option, and the second,
+if any, is equivalent to a @option{-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 @option{+} rather than @option{-}, 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 @option{-x}
+option is used.
+
+@table @env
+@item -help
+@itemx -h
+List all options, with brief explanations.
+
+@item -symbols=@var{file}
+@itemx -s @var{file}
+Read symbol table from file @var{file}.
+
+@item -write
+Enable writing into executable and core files.
+
+@item -exec=@var{file}
+@itemx -e @var{file}
+Use file @var{file} as the executable file to execute when
+appropriate, and for examining pure data in conjunction with a core
+dump.
+
+@item -se=@var{file}
+Read symbol table from file @var{file} and use it as the executable
+file.
+
+@item -core=@var{file}
+@itemx -c @var{file}
+Use file @var{file} as a core dump to examine.
+
+@item -command=@var{file}
+@itemx -x @var{file}
+Execute @value{GDBN} commands from file @var{file}.
+
+@item -ex @var{command}
+Execute given @value{GDBN} @var{command}.
+
+@item -directory=@var{directory}
+@itemx -d @var{directory}
+Add @var{directory} to the path to search for source files.
+
+@item -nh
+Do not execute commands from @file{~/.gdbinit}.
+
+@item -nx
+@itemx -n
+Do not execute commands from any @file{.gdbinit} initialization files.
+
+@item -quiet
+@itemx -q
+``Quiet''. Do not print the introductory and copyright messages. These
+messages are also suppressed in batch mode.
+
+@item -batch
+Run in batch mode. Exit with status @code{0} after processing all the command
+files specified with @option{-x} (and @file{.gdbinit}, if not inhibited).
+Exit with nonzero status if an error occurs in executing the @value{GDBN}
+commands in the command files.
+
+Batch mode may be useful for running @value{GDBN} as a filter, for example to
+download and run a program on another computer; in order to make this
+more useful, the message
+
+@smallexample
+Program exited normally.
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+(which is ordinarily issued whenever a program running under @value{GDBN} control
+terminates) is not issued when running in batch mode.
+
+@item -cd=@var{directory}
+Run @value{GDBN} using @var{directory} as its working directory,
+instead of the current directory.
+
+@item -fullname
+@itemx -f
+Emacs sets this option when it runs @value{GDBN} as a subprocess. It tells
+@value{GDBN} 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 @samp{\032} characters, followed by the file name, line number
+and character position separated by colons, and a newline. The
+Emacs-to-@value{GDBN} interface program uses the two @samp{\032}
+characters as a signal to display the source code for the frame.
+
+@item -b @var{bps}
+Set the line speed (baud rate or bits per second) of any serial
+interface used by @value{GDBN} for remote debugging.
+

+
+gdbserver @var{tty} --attach @var{PID}
+@c man end
+@end format
+
+@c man begin DESCRIPTION gdbserver
+@command{gdbserver} is a program that allows you to run @value{GDBN} on a different machine
+than the one which is running the program being debugged.
+
+@ifclear man
+@subheading Usage (server (target) side)
+@end ifclear
+@ifset man
+Usage (server (target) side):
+@end ifset
+
+First, you need to have a copy of the program you want to debug put onto
+the target system. The program can be stripped to save space if needed, as
+@command{gdbserver} doesn't care about symbols. All symbol handling is taken care of by
+the @value{GDBN} running on the host system.
+
+To use the server, you log on to the target system, and run the @command{gdbserver}
+program. You must tell it (a) how to communicate with @value{GDBN}, (b) the name of
+your program, and (c) its arguments. The general syntax is:
+
+@smallexample
+target> gdbserver @var{comm} @var{program} [@var{args} ...]
+@end smallexample
+
+For example, using a serial port, you might say:
+
+@smallexample
+@ifset man
+@c @file would wrap it as F</dev/com1>.
+target> gdbserver /dev/com1 emacs foo.txt
+@end ifset
+@ifclear man
+target> gdbserver @file{/dev/com1} emacs foo.txt
+@end ifclear
+@end smallexample
+
+This tells @command{gdbserver} to debug emacs with an argument of foo.txt, and
+to communicate with @value{GDBN} via @file{/dev/com1}. @command{gdbserver} now
+waits patiently for the host @value{GDBN} to communicate with it.
+
+To use a TCP connection, you could say:
+
+@smallexample
+target> gdbserver host:2345 emacs foo.txt
+@end smallexample
+
+This says pretty much the same thing as the last example, except that we are
+going to communicate with the @code{host} @value{GDBN} via TCP. The @code{host:2345} argument means
+that we are expecting to see a TCP connection from @code{host} to local TCP port
+2345. (Currently, the @code{host} part is ignored.) You can choose any number you
+want for the port number as long as it does not conflict with any existing TCP
+ports on the target system. This same port number must be used in the host
+@value{GDBN}s @code{target remote} command, which will be described shortly. Note that if
+you chose a port number that conflicts with another service, @command{gdbserver} will
+print an error message and exit.
+
+On some targets, @command{gdbserver} can also attach to running programs.
+This is accomplished via the @option{--attach} argument. The syntax is:
+
+@smallexample
+target> gdbserver @var{comm} --attach @var{pid}
+@end smallexample
+
+@var{pid} is the process ID of a currently running process. It isn't
+necessary to point @command{gdbserver} at a binary for the running process.
+
+@ifclear man
+@subheading Usage (host side)
+@end ifclear
+@ifset man
+Usage (host side):
+@end ifset
+
+You need an unstripped copy of the target program on your host system, since
+@value{GDBN} needs to examine it's symbol tables and such. Start up @value{GDBN} as you normally
+would, with the target program as the first argument. (You may need to use the
+@option{--baud} option if the serial line is running at anything except 9600 baud.)
+That is @code{gdb TARGET-PROG}, or @code{gdb --baud BAUD TARGET-PROG}. After that, the only
+new command you need to know about is @code{target remote}. It's argument is either
+a device name (usually a serial device, like @file{/dev/ttyb}), or a @code{HOST:PORT}
+descriptor. For example:
+
+@smallexample
+@ifset man
+@c @file would wrap it as F</dev/ttyb>.
+(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyb
+@end ifset
+@ifclear man
+(gdb) target remote @file{/dev/ttyb}
+@end ifclear
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+communicates with the server via serial line @file{/dev/ttyb}, and:
+
+@smallexample
+(gdb) target remote the-target:2345
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+communicates via a TCP connection to port 2345 on host `the-target', where
+you previously started up @command{gdbserver} with the same port number. Note that for
+TCP connections, you must start up @command{gdbserver} prior to using the `target remote'
+command, otherwise you may get an error that looks something like
+`Connection refused'.
+@c man end
+
+@c man begin OPTIONS gdbserver
+You have to supply the name of the program to debug
+and the tty to communicate on; the remote @value{GDBN} will do everything else.
+Any remaining arguments will be passed to the program verbatim.

-.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 edit \fR[\|\fIfile\fB:\fR\|]\fIfunction
-look at the program line where it is presently stopped.
-.TP
-.B list \fR[\|\fIfile\fB:\fR\|]\fIfunction
-type the text of the program in the vicinity of where it is presently stopped.
-.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.

-.SH SYNOPSIS

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-GDBSERVER is a program that allows you to run GDB on a different machine
-than the one which is running the program being debugged.
-
-Usage (server (target) side):
-
-First, you need to have a copy of the program you want to debug put onto
-the target system. The program can be stripped to save space if needed, as
-GDBserver doesn't care about symbols. All symbol handling is taken care of by
-the GDB running on the host system.
-
-To use the server, you log on to the target system, and run the `gdbserver'
-program. You must tell it (a) how to communicate with GDB, (b) the name of
-your program, and (c) its arguments. The general syntax is:
-
- target> gdbserver COMM PROGRAM [ARGS ...]
-
-For example, using a serial port, you might say:
-
- target> gdbserver /dev/com1 emacs foo.txt
-
-This tells gdbserver to debug emacs with an argument of foo.txt, and to
-communicate with GDB via /dev/com1. Gdbserver now waits patiently for the
-host GDB to communicate with it.
-
-To use a TCP connection, you could say:
-
- target> gdbserver host:2345 emacs foo.txt
-
-This says pretty much the same thing as the last example, except that we are
-going to communicate with the host GDB via TCP. The `host:2345' argument means
-that we are expecting to see a TCP connection from `host' to local TCP port
-2345. (Currently, the `host' part is ignored.) You can choose any number you
-want for the port number as long as it does not conflict with any existing TCP
-ports on the target system. This same port number must be used in the host
-GDBs `target remote' command, which will be described shortly. Note that if
-you chose a port number that conflicts with another service, gdbserver will
-print an error message and exit.
-
-On some targets, gdbserver can also attach to running programs.
-This is accomplished via the --attach argument. The syntax is:
-
- target> gdbserver COMM --attach PID
-
-PID is the process ID of a currently running process. It isn't
-necessary to point gdbserver at a binary for the running process.
-
-Usage (host side):
-
-You need an unstripped copy of the target program on your host system, since
-GDB needs to examine it's symbol tables and such. Start up GDB as you normally
-would, with the target program as the first argument. (You may need to use the
---baud option if the serial line is running at anything except 9600 baud.)
-Ie: `gdb TARGET-PROG', or `gdb --baud BAUD TARGET-PROG'. After that, the only
-new command you need to know about is `target remote'. It's argument is either
-a device name (usually a serial device, like `/dev/ttyb'), or a HOST:PORT
-descriptor. For example:
-
- (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyb
-
-communicates with the server via serial line /dev/ttyb, and:
-
- (gdb) target remote the-target:2345
-
-communicates via a TCP connection to port 2345 on host `the-target', where
-you previously started up gdbserver with the same port number. Note that for
-TCP connections, you must start up gdbserver prior to using the `target remote'
-command, otherwise you may get an error that looks something like
-`Connection refused'.
-.SH OPTIONS
-You have to supply the name of the program to debug
-and the tty to communicate on; the remote GDB will do everything else.
-Any remaining arguments will be passed to the program verbatim.
