- <p>Users of <small>GDB</small> often wish to obtain information about the state of
- the operating system running on the target—for example the list of
- processes, or the list of open files. This section describes the
- mechanism that makes it possible. This mechanism is similar to the
- target features mechanism (see <a href="Target-Descriptions.html#Target-Descriptions">Target Descriptions</a>), but focuses
- on a different aspect of target.
- </p>
- <p>Operating system information is retrieved from the target via the
- remote protocol, using ‘<samp>qXfer</samp>’ requests (see <a href="General-Query-Packets.html#qXfer-osdata-read">qXfer osdata read</a>). The object name in the request should be ‘<samp>osdata</samp>’, and
- the <var>annex</var> identifies the data to be fetched.
