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