<h2 class="chapter">28 <span class="sc">gdb</span> Annotations</h2>
<p>This chapter describes annotations in <span class="sc">gdb</span>. Annotations were
designed to interface <span class="sc">gdb</span> to graphical user interfaces or other
similar programs which want to interact with <span class="sc">gdb</span> at a
relatively high level.
<p>The annotation mechanism has largely been superseded by <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span>
(see <a href="GDB_002fMI.html#GDB_002fMI">GDB/MI</a>).
