2022年1月30日 · He introduces a tool in GDB called TUI (Text User Interface). This tool allows the programmer to easily visualize the executing program, its assembly, and view the program registers (similar to what pwndbg offered).

The TUI mode is enabled by default when you invoke GDB as ‘gdb -tui’. You can also switch in and out of TUI mode while GDB runs by using various TUI commands and key bindings, such as tui enable or C-x C-a .

The GDB Text User Interface, TUI in short, is a terminal interface which uses the curses library to show the source file, the assembly output, the program registers and GDB commands in separate text windows.

25.5 TUI-specific Commands. The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows. These commands are always available, even when GDB is not in the TUI mode. When GDB is in the standard mode, most of these commands will automatically switch to the TUI mode.

The TUI has two display modes that can be switched while GDB runs: A curses (or TUI) mode in which it displays several text windows on the terminal. A standard mode which corresponds to the GDB configured without the TUI.

25.1 TUI Overview. In TUI mode, GDB can display several text windows: command. This window is the GDB command window with the GDB prompt and the GDB output. The GDB input is still managed using readline. source. The source window shows the source file of the program. The current line and active breakpoints are displayed in this window. assembly

The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows. These commands are always available, that is they do not depend on the current terminal mode in which GDB runs. When GDB is in the standard mode, using these commands will automatically switch in the TUI mode.

2016年6月10日 · It turns out that there are command line keystrokes to enable TUI dynamically when you want it (or turn it off when you don’t). That makes this TUI a much nicer feature! The main key commands of interest are: – C-x a, turn on (or off) TUI mode. – C-x 2. Use two windows, or cycle to the next layout. – C-x o. Change active window.

gdbtui is a Linux command that provides a Text User Interface (TUI) for GDB, the GNU Debugger. It allows you to debug programs with a visual interface in the terminal. It makes it easier for you to see your source code, assembly output, and other debugging information all at once.

GDB ships with a fantastic graphical user interface called “Text User Interface”, or TUI for short. This interface is great: it’s super lightweight and works in a terminal, so it’s always available wherever you run GDB.
