<p><a name="index-operating-system-information_002c-process-list-3677"></a>
When requesting the process list, the <var>annex</var> field in the
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">qXfer</span></samp>&rsquo; request should be &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">processes</span></samp>&rsquo;. The returned data is
an XML document. The formal syntax of this document is defined in
<samp><span class="file">gdb/features/osdata.dtd</span></samp>.
<p>An example document is:
<pre class="smallexample"> &lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE target SYSTEM "osdata.dtd"&gt;
&lt;osdata type="processes"&gt;
&lt;item&gt;
&lt;column name="pid"&gt;1&lt;/column&gt;
&lt;column name="user"&gt;root&lt;/column&gt;
&lt;column name="command"&gt;/sbin/init&lt;/column&gt;
&lt;column name="cores"&gt;1,2,3&lt;/column&gt;
&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/osdata&gt;
</pre>
<p>Each item should include a column whose name is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">pid</span></samp>&rsquo;. The value
of that column should identify the process on the target. The
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">user</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">command</span></samp>&rsquo; columns are optional, and will be
displayed by <span class="sc">gdb</span>. The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cores</span></samp>&rsquo; column, if present,
should contain a comma-separated list of cores that this process
is running on. Target may provide additional columns,
which <span class="sc">gdb</span> currently ignores.
