 - <pre class="smallexample">-list-thread-groups [ --available ] [ --recurse 1 ] [ <var>group</var> ... ]
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>Lists thread groups (see <a href="Thread-groups.html#Thread-groups">Thread groups</a>).  When a single thread
 - group is passed as the argument, lists the children of that group.
 - When several thread group are passed, lists information about those
 - thread groups.  Without any parameters, lists information about all
 - top-level thread groups.
 - </p>
 - <p>Normally, thread groups that are being debugged are reported.
 - With the ‘<samp>--available</samp>’ option, <small>GDB</small> reports thread groups
 - available on the target.
 - </p>
 - <p>The output of this command may have either a ‘<samp>threads</samp>’ result or
 - a ‘<samp>groups</samp>’ result.  The ‘<samp>thread</samp>’ result has a list of tuples
 - as value, with each tuple describing a thread (see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Thread-Information.html#GDB_002fMI-Thread-Information">GDB/MI Thread Information</a>).  The ‘<samp>groups</samp>’ result has a list of tuples as value,
 - each tuple describing a thread group.  If top-level groups are
 - requested (that is, no parameter is passed), or when several groups
 - are passed, the output always has a ‘<samp>groups</samp>’ result.  The format
 - of the ‘<samp>group</samp>’ result is described below.
 - </p>
 - <p>To reduce the number of roundtrips it’s possible to list thread groups
 - together with their children, by passing the ‘<samp>--recurse</samp>’ option
 - and the recursion depth.  Presently, only recursion depth of 1 is
 - permitted.  If this option is present, then every reported thread group
 - will also include its children, either as ‘<samp>group</samp>’ or
 - ‘<samp>threads</samp>’ field.
 - </p>
 - <p>In general, any combination of option and parameters is permitted, with
 - the following caveats:
 - </p>
 - <ul>
 - <li> When a single thread group is passed, the output will typically
 - be the ‘<samp>threads</samp>’ result.  Because threads may not contain
 - anything, the ‘<samp>recurse</samp>’ option will be ignored.
 - 
 - </li><li> When the ‘<samp>--available</samp>’ option is passed, limited information may
 - be available.  In particular, the list of threads of a process might
 - be inaccessible.  Further, specifying specific thread groups might
 - not give any performance advantage over listing all thread groups.
 - The frontend should assume that ‘<samp>-list-thread-groups --available</samp>’
 - is always an expensive operation and cache the results.
 - 
 - </li></ul>
 - 
 - <p>The ‘<samp>groups</samp>’ result is a list of tuples, where each tuple may
 - have the following fields:
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><code>id</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Identifier of the thread group.  This field is always present.
 - The identifier is an opaque string; frontends should not try to
 - convert it to an integer, even though it might look like one.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>type</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>The type of the thread group.  At present, only ‘<samp>process</samp>’ is a
 - valid type.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>pid</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>The target-specific process identifier.  This field is only present
 - for thread groups of type ‘<samp>process</samp>’ and only if the process exists.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>exit-code</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>The exit code of this group’s last exited thread, formatted in octal.
 - This field is only present for thread groups of type ‘<samp>process</samp>’ and
 - only if the process is not running.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>num_children</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>The number of children this thread group has.  This field may be
 - absent for an available thread group.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>threads</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>This field has a list of tuples as value, each tuple describing a
 - thread.  It may be present if the ‘<samp>--recurse</samp>’ option is
 - specified, and it’s actually possible to obtain the threads.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>cores</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>This field is a list of integers, each identifying a core that one
 - thread of the group is running on.  This field may be absent if
 - such information is not available.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>executable</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>The name of the executable file that corresponds to this thread group.
 - The field is only present for thread groups of type ‘<samp>process</samp>’,
 - and only if there is a corresponding executable file.
