 Killing the child process
 =========================
 
 `kill'
      Kill the child process in which your program is running under GDB.
 
    This command is useful if you wish to debug a core dump instead of a
 running process.  GDB ignores any core dump file while your program is
 running.
 
    On some operating systems, a program cannot be executed outside GDB
 while you have breakpoints set on it inside GDB.  You can use the
 `kill' command in this situation to permit running your program outside
 the debugger.
 
    The `kill' command is also useful if you wish to recompile and
 relink your program, since on many systems it is impossible to modify an
 executable file while it is running in a process.  In this case, when
 you next type `run', GDB notices that the file has changed, and reads
 the symbol table again (while trying to preserve your current
 breakpoint settings).
