| |
| <p>By default and if not explicitly closed by the target system, the file |
| descriptors 0, 1 and 2 are connected to the <small>GDB</small> console. Output |
| on the <small>GDB</small> console is handled as any other file output operation |
| (<code>write(1, …)</code> or <code>write(2, …)</code>). Console input is handled |
| by <small>GDB</small> so that after the target read request from file descriptor |
| 0 all following typing is buffered until either one of the following |
| conditions is met: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> The user types <kbd>Ctrl-c</kbd>. The behaviour is as explained above, and the |
| <code>read</code> |
| system call is treated as finished. |
| |
| </li><li> The user presses <tt class="key">RET</tt>. This is treated as end of input with a trailing |
| newline. |
| |
| </li><li> The user types <kbd>Ctrl-d</kbd>. This is treated as end of input. No trailing |
| character (neither newline nor ‘<samp>Ctrl-D</samp>’) is appended to the input. |
| |
| </li></ul> |
| |
| <p>If the user has typed more characters than fit in the buffer given to |
| the <code>read</code> call, the trailing characters are buffered in <small>GDB</small> until |
| either another <code>read(0, …)</code> is requested by the target, or debugging |
| is stopped at the user’s request. |
