<a name="index-stream-records-in-GDB_002fMI"></a>
<p><small>GDB</small> internally maintains a number of output streams: the console, the
target, and the log. The output intended for each of these streams is
funneled through the <small>GDB/MI</small> interface using <em>stream records</em>.
</p>
<p>Each stream record begins with a unique <em>prefix character</em> which
identifies its stream (see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Output-Syntax.html#GDB_002fMI-Output-Syntax"><small>GDB/MI</small> Output
Syntax</a>). In addition to the prefix, each stream record contains a
<code><var>string-output</var></code>. This is either raw text (with an implicit new
line) or a quoted C string (which does not contain an implicit newline).
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>&quot;~&quot; <var>string-output</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The console output stream contains text that should be displayed in the
CLI console window. It contains the textual responses to CLI commands.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>&quot;@&quot; <var>string-output</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The target output stream contains any textual output from the running
target. This is only present when GDB&rsquo;s event loop is truly
asynchronous, which is currently only the case for remote targets.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>&quot;&amp;&quot; <var>string-output</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The log stream contains debugging messages being produced by <small>GDB</small>&rsquo;s
internals.
