Appendix C Maintenance Commands

In addition to commands intended for GDB users, GDB includes a number of commands intended for GDB developers. These commands are provided here for reference.

maint info breakpoints

Using the same format as info breakpoints, display both the breakpoints you've set explicitly, and those GDB is using for internal purposes. Internal breakpoints are shown with negative breakpoint numbers. The type column identifies what kind of breakpoint is shown:

breakpoint

Normal, explicitly set breakpoint.

watchpoint

Normal, explicitly set watchpoint.

longjmp

Internal breakpoint, used to handle correctly stepping through longjmp calls.

longjmp resume

Internal breakpoint at the target of a longjmp.

until

Temporary internal breakpoint used by the GDB until command.

finish

Temporary internal breakpoint used by the GDB finish command.

shlib events

Shared library events.

maint print registers

maint print raw-registers

maint print cooked-registers

Print GDB's internal register data structures.

The command maint print raw-registers includes the contents of the raw register cache; and the command maint print cooked-registers includes the (cooked) value of all registers. See Registers (GDB Internals).

Takes an optional file parameter.
