5.7 More information

For simplicity, the examples in this chapter demonstrate how to use gdb on the command-line. There are more powerful ways to debug a program interactively using tools such as Emacs gdb mode (M-x gdb), ddd or insight, graphical interfaces to gdb. Links to these programs can be found on the publisher's webpage for this book.1

A complete description of all the commands available in gdb can be found in the manual “Debugging with GDB: The GNU Source-Level Debugger” (see Further reading).
