<a name="index-console-i_002fo-as-part-of-file_002di_002fo"></a>
<p>By default and if not explicitly closed by the target system, the file
descriptors 0, 1 and 2 are connected to the <small>GDB</small> console. Output
on the <small>GDB</small> console is handled as any other file output operation
(<code>write(1, &hellip;)</code> or <code>write(2, &hellip;)</code>). Console input is handled
by <small>GDB</small> so that after the target read request from file descriptor
0 all following typing is buffered until either one of the following
conditions is met:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The user types <kbd>Ctrl-c</kbd>. The behaviour is as explained above, and the
<code>read</code>
system call is treated as finished.
</li><li> The user presses <tt class="key">RET</tt>. This is treated as end of input with a trailing
newline.
</li><li> The user types <kbd>Ctrl-d</kbd>. This is treated as end of input. No trailing
character (neither newline nor &lsquo;<samp>Ctrl-D</samp>&rsquo;) is appended to the input.
</li></ul>
<p>If the user has typed more characters than fit in the buffer given to
the <code>read</code> call, the trailing characters are buffered in <small>GDB</small> until
either another <code>read(0, &hellip;)</code> is requested by the target, or debugging
is stopped at the user&rsquo;s request.
