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.

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.

"\|]" -.PP -.B gdbserver -.RB tty -.B --attach -.RB PID -.ad b -.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. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.RB "`\|" gdb "\|'" -entry in -.B info\c -\&; -.I -Using GDB: A Guide to the GNU Source-Level Debugger\c -, Richard M.
