+# gdb(1)

+# CLI
+
+```markdown
+  gdb [opts] [prg [-c coredump | -p pid]]
+  gdb [opts] --args prg <prg-args>
+    opts:
+      -p <pid>        attach to pid
+      -c <coredump>   use <coredump>
+      -x <file>       execute script <file> before prompt
+      -ex <cmd>       execute command <cmd> before prompt
+      --tty <tty>     set I/O tty for debugee
+```
+
+# Interactive usage
+
+```markdown
+  tty <tty>
+          Set <tty> as tty for debugee.
+          Make sure nobody reads from target tty, easiest is to spawn a shell
+          and run following in target tty:
+          > while true; do sleep 1024; done
+
+  set follow-fork-mode <child | parent>
+          Specify which process to follow when debuggee makes a fork(2)
+          syscall.
+
+  sharedlibrary [<regex>]
+          Load symbols of shared libs loaded by debugee. Optionally use <regex>
+          to filter libs for symbol loading.
+
+  break [-qualified] <sym> thread <tnum>
+          Set a breakpoint only for a specific thread.
+          -qualified: Tred <sym> as fully qualified symbol (quiet handy to set
+          breakpoints on C symbols in C++ contexts)
+
+  rbreak <regex>
+          Set breakpoints matching <regex>, where matching internally is done
+          on: .*<regex>.*
+
+  command [<bp_list>]
+          Define commands to run after breakpoint hit. If <bp_list> is not
+          specified attach command to last created breakpoint. Command block
+          terminated with 'end' token.
+
+          <bp_list>: Space separates list, eg 'command 2 5-8' to run command
+          for breakpoints: 2,5,6,7,8.
+
+  info functions [<regex>]
+          List functions matching <regex>. List all functions if no <regex>
+          provided.
+
+  info variables [<regex>]
+          List variables matching <regex>. List all variables if no <regex>
+          provided.
+
+  info handle [<signal>]
+          Print how to handle <signal>. If no <signal> specified print for all
+          signals.
+
+  handle <signal> <action>
+          Configure how gdb handles <signal> sent to debugee.
+          <action>:
+            stop/nostop       Catch signal in gdb and break.
+            print/noprint     Print message when gdb catches signal.
+            pass/nopass       Pass signal down to debugee.
+
+  catch signal <signal>
+          Create a catchpoint for <signal>.
+```
+
+# User commands (macros)
+
+```markdown
+  define <cmd>
+    # cmds
+  end
+
+  document <cmd>
+    # docu
+  end
+
+  help user-defined             List user defined commands.
+  help <cmd>                    List documentation for command <cmd>.
+```
+
+# Hooks
+
+Gdb allows to create two types of command `hooks` which will be either executed
+before or after a certain command.
+
+```markdown
+  define hook-<cmd>             Run commands defined in hook before
+    # cmds                      executing <cmd>.
+  end
+
+  define hookpost-<cmd>         Run commands defined in hookpost after
+    # cmds                      executing <cmd>.
+  end
+```
+
+# Flows
+
+## Catch SIGSEGV and execute commands on occurrence
+```markdown
+  catch signal SIGSEGV
+  command
+    bt
+    c
+  end
+```
+
+## Run `backtrace` on thread 1 (batch mode)
+```markdown
+  gdb --batch -ex 'thread 1' -ex 'bt' -p <pid>
+```
+
+## Script gdb for automating debugging sessions
+```markdown
+# run.gdb
+  set pagination off
+
+  break mmap
+  command
+    info reg rdi rsi rdx
+    bt
+    c
+  end
+
+  #initial drop
+  c
+```
+This script can be used as:
+```markdown
+  gdb -p <pid> -x ./run.gdb  --batch &> run.log
+```
+
+## Workaround `command + finish` bug
+When using `finish` action inside a `command` block, actions after `finish` are
+not executed anymore. To workaround that bug one can create a wrapper function
+which calls `finish`.
+```markdown
+  define handler
+  bt
+  finish
+  info reg rax
+  end
+
+  command
+  handler
+  end
+```
