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