<h4 class="subsection">21.1.2 Process Information</h4>
<a name="index-_002fproc"></a>
<a name="index-examine-process-image"></a>
<a name="index-process-info-via-_002fproc"></a>
<p>Some operating systems provide interfaces to fetch additional
information about running processes beyond memory and per-thread
register state. If <small>GDB</small> is configured for an operating system
with a supported interface, the command <code>info proc</code> is available
to report information about the process running your program, or about
any process running on your system.
</p>
<p>One supported interface is a facility called &lsquo;<samp>/proc</samp>&rsquo; that can be
used to examine the image of a running process using file-system
subroutines. This facility is supported on <small>GNU</small>/Linux and Solaris
systems.
</p>
<p>On FreeBSD systems, system control nodes are used to query process
information.
</p>
<p>In addition, some systems may provide additional process information
in core files. Note that a core file may include a subset of the
information available from a live process. Process information is
currently avaiable from cores created on <small>GNU</small>/Linux and FreeBSD
systems.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-info-proc"></a>
<a name="index-process-ID"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>info proc</code></dt>
<dt><code>info proc <var>process-id</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Summarize available information about a process. If a
process ID is specified by <var>process-id</var>, display information about
that process; otherwise display information about the program being
debugged. The summary includes the debugged process ID, the command
line used to invoke it, its current working directory, and its
executable file&rsquo;s absolute file name.
</p>
<p>On some systems, <var>process-id</var> can be of the form
&lsquo;<samp>[<var>pid</var>]/<var>tid</var></samp>&rsquo; which specifies a certain thread ID
within a process. If the optional <var>pid</var> part is missing, it means
a thread from the process being debugged (the leading &lsquo;<samp>/</samp>&rsquo; still
needs to be present, or else <small>GDB</small> will interpret the number as
a process ID rather than a thread ID).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>info proc cmdline</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-info-proc-cmdline"></a>
<p>Show the original command line of the process. This command is
supported on <small>GNU</small>/Linux and FreeBSD.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>info proc cwd</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-info-proc-cwd"></a>
<p>Show the current working directory of the process. This command is
supported on <small>GNU</small>/Linux and FreeBSD.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>info proc exe</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-info-proc-exe"></a>
<p>Show the name of executable of the process. This command is supported
on <small>GNU</small>/Linux and FreeBSD.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>info proc files</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-info-proc-files"></a>
<p>Show the file descriptors open by the process. For each open file
descriptor, <small>GDB</small> shows its number, type (file, directory,
character device, socket), file pointer offset, and the name of the
resource open on the descriptor. The resource name can be a file name
(for files, directories, and devices) or a protocol followed by socket
address (for network connections). This command is supported on
FreeBSD.
</p>
<p>This example shows the open file descriptors for a process using a
tty for standard input and output as well as two network sockets:

</dd>
<dt><code>info proc mappings</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-memory-address-space-mappings"></a>
<p>Report the memory address space ranges accessible in a process. On
Solaris and FreeBSD systems, each memory range includes information on
whether the process has read, write, or execute access rights to each
range. On <small>GNU</small>/Linux and FreeBSD systems, each memory range
includes the object file which is mapped to that range.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>info proc stat</code></dt>
<dt><code>info proc status</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-process-detailed-status-information"></a>
<p>Show additional process-related information, including the user ID and
group ID; virtual memory usage; the signals that are pending, blocked,
and ignored; its TTY; its consumption of system and user time; its
stack size; its &lsquo;<samp>nice</samp>&rsquo; value; etc. These commands are supported
on <small>GNU</small>/Linux and FreeBSD.
</p>
<p>For <small>GNU</small>/Linux systems, see the &lsquo;<samp>proc</samp>&rsquo; man page for more
information (type <kbd>man 5 proc</kbd> from your shell prompt).
</p>
<p>For FreeBSD systems, <code>info proc stat</code> is an alias for <code>info
proc status</code>.
</p>

<dt><code>info proc all</code></dt>
<dd><p>Show all the information about the process described under all of the

<dd><a name="index-set-procfs_002dtrace"></a>

</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>show procfs-trace</code></dt>

<p>Show the current state of <code>procfs</code> API call tracing.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>set procfs-file <var>file</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-set-procfs_002dfile"></a>
<p>Tell <small>GDB</small> to write <code>procfs</code> API trace to the named
<var>file</var>. <small>GDB</small> appends the trace info to the previous
contents of the file. The default is to display the trace on the
standard output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>show procfs-file</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-show-procfs_002dfile"></a>
<p>Show the file to which <code>procfs</code> API trace is written.
