group, the id previously returned by

<pre class="smallexample"> -target-detach [ <var>pid</var> | <var>gid</var> ]
</pre>
<p>Detach from the remote target which normally resumes its execution.
If either <var>pid</var> or <var>gid</var> is specified, detaches from either
the specified process, or specified thread group. There's no output.
<h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5>

<p>Loads the executable onto the remote target.
It prints out an update message every half second, which includes the fields:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">section</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>The name of the section.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">section-sent</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>The size of what has been sent so far for that section.

<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">total-sent</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>The total size of what was sent so far (the current and the previous sections).
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">total-size</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>The size of the overall executable to download.
</dl>
<p class="noindent">Each message is sent as status record (see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Output-Syntax.html#GDB_002fMI-Output-Syntax"><span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> Output Syntax</a>).
<p>In addition, it prints the name and size of the sections, as they are
downloaded. These messages include the following fields:

<p class="noindent">At the end, a summary is printed.
<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">load</span></samp>&rsquo;.

<p>The output is a connection notification, followed by the address at
which the target program is, in the following form:
<pre class="smallexample"> ^connected,addr="<var>address</var>",func="<var>function name</var>",
args=[<var>arg list</var>]
