|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Target descriptions can be read from the target automatically, or
|
||
|
specified by the user manually. The default behavior is to read the
|
||
|
description from the target. <small>GDB</small> retrieves it via the remote
|
||
|
protocol using ‘<samp>qXfer</samp>’ requests (see <a href="General-Query-Packets.html#General-Query-Packets">qXfer</a>). The <var>annex</var> in the ‘<samp>qXfer</samp>’ packet will be
|
||
|
‘<samp>target.xml</samp>’. The contents of the ‘<samp>target.xml</samp>’ annex are an
|
||
|
XML document, of the form described in <a href="Target-Description-Format.html#Target-Description-Format">Target Description Format</a>.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>Alternatively, you can specify a file to read for the target description.
|
||
|
If a file is set, the target will not be queried. The commands to
|
||
|
specify a file are:
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
||
|
<dd><a name="index-set-tdesc-filename"></a>
|
||
|
</dd>
|
||
|
<dt><code>set tdesc filename <var>path</var></code></dt>
|
||
|
<dd><p>Read the target description from <var>path</var>.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<a name="index-unset-tdesc-filename"></a>
|
||
|
</dd>
|
||
|
<dt><code>unset tdesc filename</code></dt>
|
||
|
<dd><p>Do not read the XML target description from a file. <small>GDB</small>
|
||
|
will use the description supplied by the current target.
|
||
|
</p>

<a name="index-show-tdesc-filename"></a>

<dt><code>show tdesc filename</code></dt>
