 Specifying a Debugging Target
 *****************************
 
    A "target" is the execution environment occupied by your program.
 
    Often, GDB runs in the same host environment as your program; in
 that case, the debugging target is specified as a side effect when you
 use the `file' or `core' commands.  When you need more flexibility--for
 example, running GDB on a physically separate host, or controlling a
 standalone system over a serial port or a realtime system over a TCP/IP
 connection--you can use the `target' command to specify one of the
 target types configured for GDB ( Commands for managing targets
 Target Commands.).
