debugging a process

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I tried to debug a running process.
I am taking firefox as an example.

So I wanted to see it in detail as how is Linux kernel communicating with it.
Here is my output
such as which kernel symbol is used in this process what other macros
it is using
any thing from kernel that is affecting it like that things  that I
can look in it using gdb.
I am doing it for learning purpose.
Can any one suggest some thing meaningful?
