Subject: read/write arbitrary files
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:29:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200808251040.08733.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> (raw)

I'd like to use gdb to examine and update arbitrary files.  In
particular, I'd like to disassemble and patch files like /dev/mem
that are not in executable or core formats.

Is there already a way to do this?  If not, could there be?  This
was a very useful feature of adb.

Bjorn
