HP gnu source-level debugger 5992-4701 - Manual (Page 308)

Notes:
•
The CLI commands are still handled by the MI interpreter; their output is described
below.
• The token, when present, is passed back when the command finishes.
• Some MI commands accept optional arguments as part of the parameter list. Each
option is identified by a leading `-' (dash) and may be followed by an optional
argument parameter. Options occur first in the parameter list and can be delimited
from normal parameters using `--' (this is useful when some parameters begin
with a dash).
Pragmatics:
•
We want easy access to the existing CLI syntax (for debugging).
• We want it to be easy to spot a MI operation.
21.1.2 GDB/MI Output syntax
The output from GDB/MI consists of zero or more out-of-band records followed,
optionally, by a single result record. This result record is for the most recent command.
The sequence of output records is terminated by '(gdb)'.
If an input command was prefixed with a token then the corresponding output for that
command will also be prefixed by that same token.

development).
