to a serial line. @value{GDBN} will automatically determine which
kind of file you have specified and will make the appropriate kind
of connection.
-The above command is identical to the command:
-
-@smallexample
-target remote unix::/tmp/gdb-socket1
-@end smallexample
-@noindent

-See below for the explanation of this syntax.
-
This feature is not available if the host system does not support
Unix domain sockets.
@itemx target remote @code{tcp4:@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target remote @code{tcp6:@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target remote @code{tcp6:@var{[host]}:@var{port}}
-@itemx target remote @code{unix::@var{local-socket}}
@itemx target extended-remote @code{@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target extended-remote @code{@var{[host]}:@var{port}}
@itemx target extended-remote @code{tcp:@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target extended-remote @code{tcp4:@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target extended-remote @code{tcp6:@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target extended-remote @code{tcp6:@var{[host]}:@var{port}}
-@itemx target extended-remote @code{unix::@var{local-socket}}
@cindex @acronym{TCP} port, @code{target remote}
-Debug using a @acronym{TCP} connection to @var{port} on @var{host}
-or using the Unix domain socket @var{local-socket} on the local machine.
+Debug using a @acronym{TCP} connection to @var{port} on @var{host}.
The @var{host} may be either a host name, a numeric @acronym{IPv4}
address, or a numeric @acronym{IPv6} address (with or without the
square brackets to separate the address from the port); @var{port}
@noindent
Note that the colon is still required here.
-Alternatively you can use a Unix domain socket:
-
-@smallexample
-target remote unix::/tmp/gdb-socket1
-@end smallexample
-@noindent
-
-This has the advantage that it'll not fail if the port number is already
-in use.

@item target remote @code{udp:@var{host}:@var{port}}
@itemx target remote @code{udp:@var{[host]}:@var{port}}
