27 The GDB/MI Interface
Function and Purpose
GDB/MI is a line based machine oriented text interface to GDB and is activated by specifying using the --interpreter
command line option (see Mode Options). It is specifically intended to support the development of systems which use the debugger as just one small component of a larger system.
This chapter is a specification of the GDB/MI interface. It is written in the form of a reference manual.
Note that GDB/MI is still under construction, so some of the features described below are incomplete and subject to change (see GDB/MI Development and Front Ends).
