+@section Commands
+
+The usual GDB commands are available to display or modify data structures and
+machine registers, disassemble code, display source listings, set and reset
+breakpoints, control the debuggee execution, etc. Refer to Debugging with GDB
+for a complete documentation of the standard GDB commands.
+
+GDB 4.17 has been extended with a number of commands specifically
+for multi-threaded debugging within a RTEMS host-target environment. These commands
+are described in this section.
+
+
+@subsection Host-target connection control
+
+@itemize
+@item (gdb) setrpcmode sun : specifies the SUN RPC type.
+@item (gdb) setdaemontype rdbg : specifies the RDBG debug server type.
+@item (gdb) target rtems target-name : specifies the target type.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsection System status information
+
+@itemize
+@item (gdb) info threads : gives a list of all threads in the debuggee,
+their names, identifiers and states. It also indicates which thread is
+the target thread.
+@end itemize
+
+
+@subsection Thread control
+
+@itemize
+@item (gdb) thread target [id] : allows the user to get/set the target thread.
+The argument id is either the thread's symbolic name or its local identifier.
+@item (gdb) thread detach [id...] : all stops (breakpoints) of some specified
+thread(s) can be ignored using the thread detach command. Each time a detached
+thread hits a breakpoint, RTEMS/GDB will automatically restart the debuggee
+without passing control to the user.
+@item (gdb) thread attach [id...] : (re)attach specified thread(s).
+@end itemize
+
