NAME

       Devel::GDB::LowLevel - Low-level interface for communicating with GDB

DESCRIPTION

       This module is used internally by Devel::GDB.  It handles the low-level I/O of communicating with the GDB process.

CONSTRUCTOR

       new Spawns a GDB process.  Because this class only facilitates communication with GDB (not with the inferior process being debugged), you
	   have to decide what to do with the "STDIN", "STDOUT", and "STDERR" of that process.	There are a few options available:

	   *   If STDIN is a tty, we can have the inferior process communicate directly with the controlling tty (emulating the default behavior
	       of gdb):

		   $gdb = new Devel::GDB::LowLevel( '-execfile' => $path_to_gdb,
						    '-params'	=> $extra_gdb_params );

	   *   Or, we can create an "Expect" object to communicate with the inferior process:

		   $gdb = new Devel::GDB::LowLevel( '-create-expect' => 1 );
		   $expect = $gdb->get_expect_obj();

	   *   Or, we can create our own tty and use that:

		   $gdb = new Devel::GDB::LowLevel( '-use-tty' => '/dev/pts/123' );

METHODS

       send
	   Sends a raw line of text to GDB.  This should not contain any newlines (they will be stripped).  This method only sends a request, and
	   does not wait for a response.

       get_reader
	   Returns the file handle from which to read GDB responses.

       get_expect_obj
	   Returns the "Expect" object created in the constructor.  Dies if '-create-expect' was not passed to "new".

       interrupt
	   Send SIGINT to the GDB session, interrupting the inferior process (if any).

NAME

       gdbinit - GDB initialization scripts

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/gdbinit

       ~/.gdbinit

       ./.gdbinit

DESCRIPTION

       These files contain GDB commands to automatically execute during GDB startup.  The lines of contents are canned sequences of commands,
       described in the GDB manual in node "Sequences" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n Sequences".

       Please read more in the GDB manual in node "Startup" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n Startup".

       /etc/gdbinit
	   System-wide initialization file.  It is executed unless user specified GDB option "-nx" or "-n".  See more in the GDB manual in node
	   "System-wide configuration" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n 'System-wide configuration'".

       ~/.gdbinit
	   User initialization file.  It is executed unless user specified GDB options "-nx", "-n" or "-nh".

       ./.gdbinit
	   Initialization file for current directory.  It may need to be enabled with GDB security command "set auto-load local-gdbinit".  See
	   more in the GDB manual in node "Init File in the Current Directory" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n 'Init File in the Current
	   Directory'".

       The full documentation for GDB is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If the "info" and "gdb" programs and GDB's Texinfo documentation are
       properly installed at your site, the command

	       info gdb

       should give you access to the complete manual.
