Re: How to use gdb in LINUX?

[Sridhar Iyengar <iyengars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Here's a file that has a list of the gdb commands. For more info on each
command, use: help <command name> inside gdb. In case u need to track the
sequence of execution of ur program, use 'backtrace' or 'bt' that'll give a
stack dump of ur program for analysing.

Happy debugging : )

PS: One of the Linux Journal issues (forgot the issue date) discussed gdb & had
all the basic stuff to get it up & running. Maybe someone having it can lend it
to u.
