<p><small>GDB</small> provides the following commands specific to the Darwin target:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>set debug darwin <var>num</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-set-debug-darwin"></a>
<p>When set to a non zero value, enables debugging messages specific to
the Darwin support. Higher values produce more verbose output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>show debug darwin</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-show-debug-darwin"></a>
<p>Show the current state of Darwin messages.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>set debug mach-o <var>num</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-set-debug-mach_002do"></a>
<p>When set to a non zero value, enables debugging messages while
<small>GDB</small> is reading Darwin object files. (<em>Mach-O</em> is the
file format used on Darwin for object and executable files.) Higher
values produce more verbose output. This is a command to diagnose
problems internal to <small>GDB</small> and should not be needed in normal
usage.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>show debug mach-o</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-show-debug-mach_002do"></a>
<p>Show the current state of Mach-O file messages.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>set mach-exceptions on</code></dt>
<dt><code>set mach-exceptions off</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-set-mach_002dexceptions"></a>
<p>On Darwin, faults are first reported as a Mach exception and are then
mapped to a Posix signal. Use this command to turn on trapping of
Mach exceptions in the inferior. This might be sometimes useful to
better understand the cause of a fault. The default is off.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>show mach-exceptions</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-show-mach_002dexceptions"></a>
<p>Show the current state of exceptions trapping.
</p></dd>
