The GDB 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 GDB
|
||
|
|
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><P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<A NAME="IDX1220"></A>
|
||
|
|
The TUI mode is enabled by default when you invoke GDB as
|
||
|
|
either <SAMP>`gdbtui'</SAMP> or <SAMP>`gdb -tui'</SAMP>.
|
||
|
|
You can also switch in and out of TUI mode while GDB runs by
|
||
|
|
using various TUI commands and key bindings, such as <KBD>C-x C-a</KBD>.
|
||
|

In TUI mode, GDB can display several text windows:
|
||
|
|
</P><P>
|

|
|
|
||
|

<DL COMPACT>
|

<DT><EM>command</EM>
|

<DD>This window is the GDB command window with the GDB
|

|
prompt and the GDB output. The GDB input is still
|

|
|
managed using readline.

<P>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<DT><EM>source</EM>
|

|

|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<DT><EM>assembly</EM>
|
||
|

<DD>The assembly window shows the disassembly output of the program.
|

<P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<DT><EM>register</EM>
|

|

|

when their values change.
|
||
|

</DL>
|
||
|
|
<P>
|

|
|
|

|
|
The source and assembly windows show the current program position
|
||
|
|
by highlighting the current line and marking it with a <SAMP>`>'</SAMP> marker.
|
||
|
|
Breakpoints are indicated with two markers. The first marker
|
||
|
|
indicates the breakpoint type:
|
||
|
|
</P><P>
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<DL COMPACT>

|
||
|
|
</DL>
|
||
|
|
<P>
|

The second marker indicates whether the breakpoint is enabled or not:
|

</P><P>

|
<DL COMPACT>

|
|
</DL>
|

|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
|

The source, assembly and register windows are updated when the current
|
||
|
|
thread changes, when the frame changes, or when the program counter
|
||
|
|
changes.

</P><P>

These windows are not all visible at the same time. The command

window is always visible. The others can be arranged in several

layouts:

The TUI installs several key bindings in the readline keymaps
|
||
|
|
(see section <A HREF="gdb_28.html#SEC657">27. Command Line Editing</A>). The following key bindings
|
||
|
|
are installed for both TUI mode and the GDB standard mode.

Because the arrow keys scroll the active window in the TUI mode, they
|
||
|
|
are not available for their normal use by readline unless the command
|
||
|
|
window has the focus. When another window is active, you must use
|
||
|
|
other readline key bindings such as <KBD>C-p</KBD>, <KBD>C-n</KBD>, <KBD>C-b</KBD>
|
||
|
|
and <KBD>C-f</KBD> to control the command window.

Other keys temporarily switch to the GDB command prompt.
|
||
|
|
The key that was pressed is inserted in the editing buffer so that
|
||
|
|
it is possible to type most GDB commands without interaction
|
||
|
|
with the TUI SingleKey mode. Once the command is entered the TUI
|
||
|
|
SingleKey mode is restored. The only way to permanently leave
|
||
|
|
this mode is by typing <KBD>q</KBD> or <KBD>C-x s</KBD>.

The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows.
|

|
|
These commands are always available, even when GDB is not in

the TUI mode. When GDB is in the standard mode, most
|
||
|
|
of these commands will automatically switch to the TUI mode.
