<p>The <span class="sc">gdb</span> Text User Interface (TUI) is a terminal
interface which uses the <code>curses</code> library to show the source
file, the assembly output, the program registers and <span class="sc">gdb</span>
commands in separate text windows. The TUI mode is supported only
on platforms where a suitable version of the <code>curses</code> library
is available.
<p>The TUI mode is enabled by default when you invoke <span class="sc">gdb</span> as
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gdb -tui</span></samp>&rsquo;.
You can also switch in and out of TUI mode while <span class="sc">gdb</span> runs by
using various TUI commands and key bindings, such as <samp><span class="command">tui
enable</span></samp> or <kbd>C-x C-a</kbd>. See <a href="TUI-Commands.html#TUI-Commands">TUI Commands</a>, and
<a href="TUI-Keys.html#TUI-Keys">TUI Key Bindings</a>.
