- <dd><p>Kill the child process in which your program is running under <small>GDB</small>.
- </p></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>This command is useful if you wish to debug a core dump instead of a
- running process. <small>GDB</small> ignores any core dump file while your program
- is running.
- </p>
- <p>On some operating systems, a program cannot be executed outside <small>GDB</small>
- while you have breakpoints set on it inside <small>GDB</small>. You can use the
- <code>kill</code> command in this situation to permit running your program
- outside the debugger.
- </p>
- <p>The <code>kill</code> command is also useful if you wish to recompile and
- relink your program, since on many systems it is impossible to modify an
- executable file while it is running in a process. In this case, when you
- next type <code>run</code>, <small>GDB</small> notices that the file has changed, and
- reads the symbol table again (while trying to preserve your current
- breakpoint settings).
