gdb: Operating System Information

 
 Appendix H Operating System Information
 ***************************************

· Process list
 
 Users of GDB often wish to obtain information about the state of the
 operating system running on the target--for example the list of
 processes, or the list of open files.  This section describes the
 mechanism that makes it possible.  This mechanism is similar to the
 target features mechanism (Target Descriptions), but focuses on
 a different aspect of target.
 
    Operating system information is retrived from the target via the
 remote protocol, using 'qXfer' requests (qXfer osdata read).
 The object name in the request should be 'osdata', and the ANNEX
 identifies the data to be fetched.
