| |
| <p><a name="index-in_002dprocess-agent-protocol-3165"></a> |
| The in-process agent is able to communicate with both <span class="sc">gdb</span> and |
| GDBserver (see <a href="In_002dProcess-Agent.html#In_002dProcess-Agent">In-Process Agent</a>). This section documents the protocol |
| used for communications between <span class="sc">gdb</span> or GDBserver and the IPA. |
| In general, <span class="sc">gdb</span> or GDBserver sends commands |
| (see <a href="IPA-Protocol-Commands.html#IPA-Protocol-Commands">IPA Protocol Commands</a>) and data to in-process agent, and then |
| in-process agent replies back with the return result of the command, or |
| some other information. The data sent to in-process agent is composed |
| of primitive data types, such as 4-byte or 8-byte type, and composite |
| types, which are called objects (see <a href="IPA-Protocol-Objects.html#IPA-Protocol-Objects">IPA Protocol Objects</a>). |
