<h3 class="section">27.11 <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> Thread Commands</h3>
<h4 class="subheading">The <code>-thread-info</code> Command</h4>
<p><a name="index-g_t_002dthread_002dinfo-3004"></a>
<h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -thread-info [ <var>thread-id</var> ]
</pre>
<p>Reports information about either a specific thread, if the
<var>thread-id</var> parameter is present, or about all threads.
<var>thread-id</var> is the thread's global thread ID. When printing
information about all threads, also reports the global ID of the
current thread.
<h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">info thread</span></samp>&rsquo; command prints the same information
about all threads.
<h5 class="subsubheading">Result</h5>
<p>The result contains the following attributes:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">threads</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>A list of threads. The format of the elements of the list is described in
<a href="GDB_002fMI-Thread-Information.html#GDB_002fMI-Thread-Information">GDB/MI Thread Information</a>.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">current-thread-id</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>The global id of the currently selected thread. This field is omitted if there
is no selected thread (for example, when the selected inferior is not running,
and therefore has no threads) or if a <var>thread-id</var> argument was passed to
the command.
</dl>
<h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5>

<h4 class="subheading">The <code>-thread-list-ids</code> Command</h4>
<p><a name="index-g_t_002dthread_002dlist_002dids-3005"></a>
<h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -thread-list-ids
</pre>
<p>Produces a list of the currently known global <span class="sc">gdb</span> thread ids.
At the end of the list it also prints the total number of such
threads.
<p>This command is retained for historical reasons, the
<code>-thread-info</code> command should be used instead.
<h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5>
<p>Part of &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">info threads</span></samp>&rsquo; supplies the same information.
<h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb)

<h4 class="subheading">The <code>-thread-select</code> Command</h4>
<p><a name="index-g_t_002dthread_002dselect-3006"></a>
<h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -thread-select <var>thread-id</var>
</pre>
<p>Make thread with global thread number <var>thread-id</var> the current
thread. It prints the number of the new current thread, and the
topmost frame for that thread.
<p>This command is deprecated in favor of explicitly using the
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--thread</span></samp>&rsquo; option to each command.
<h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5>
<p>The corresponding <span class="sc">gdb</span> command is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">thread</span></samp>&rsquo;.
