<h2 class="chapter">27 The <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> Interface</h2>
<h3 class="unnumberedsec">Function and Purpose</h3>
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040sc_007bgdb_002fmi_007d_002c-its-purpose-2950"></a><span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> is a line based machine oriented text interface to
<span class="sc">gdb</span> and is activated by specifying using the
<samp><span class="option">--interpreter</span></samp> command line option (see <a href="Mode-Options.html#Mode-Options">Mode Options</a>). It
is specifically intended to support the development of systems which
use the debugger as just one small component of a larger system.
<p>This chapter is a specification of the <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> interface. It is written
in the form of a reference manual.
<p>Note that <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> is still under construction, so some of the
features described below are incomplete and subject to change
(see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Development-and-Front-Ends.html#GDB_002fMI-Development-and-Front-Ends"><span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> Development and Front Ends</a>).
<h3 class="unnumberedsec">Notation and Terminology</h3>
<p><a name="index-notational-conventions_002c-for-_0040sc_007bgdb_002fmi_007d-2951"></a>This chapter uses the following notation:
<ul>
<li><code>|</code> separates two alternatives.
<li><code>[ </code><var>something</var><code> ]</code> indicates that <var>something</var> is optional:
it may or may not be given.
<li><code>( </code><var>group</var><code> )*</code> means that <var>group</var> inside the parentheses
may repeat zero or more times.
<li><code>( </code><var>group</var><code> )+</code> means that <var>group</var> inside the parentheses
may repeat one or more times.
<li><code>"</code><var>string</var><code>"</code> means a literal <var>string</var>.
</ul>
