Synopsis
gdb [options
] [program
[core
|pid
]]
GDB (the GNU DeBugger) allows you to step through the execution of a program in order to find the point at which it breaks. It supports a number of languages. The program to be debugged is normally specified on the command line; you can also specify a core file or, if you want to investigate a running program, a process ID. For more information, see Chapter 17.
