Hi,
I am new to gdb.
I want to know is there any way to execute shell commands (like ls, ps
.......) at gdb command prompt??
Suppose if I want to know list of files in current directory while
running "gdb", I have to open another shell to know it. Without
opening it, is it possible to execute "ls " command at gdb command
prompt??
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do it. See below "shell command" in gdb prompt.
==
(gdb) help shell
Execute the rest of the line as a shell command.
With no arguments, run an inferior shell.
(gdb) shell ls

Best Regards
