1 What is an Annotation?
64
************************
65
 
66
To produce obsolete level two annotations, start GDB with the
67
`--annotate=2' option.
68
 
69
   Annotations start with a newline character, two `control-z'
70
characters, and the name of the annotation.  If there is no additional
71
information associated with this annotation, the name of the annotation
72
is followed immediately by a newline.  If there is additional
73
information, the name of the annotation is followed by a space, the
74
additional information, and a newline.  The additional information
75
cannot contain newline characters.
76
 
77
   Any output not beginning with a newline and two `control-z'
78
characters denotes literal output from GDB.  Currently there is no need
79
for GDB to output a newline followed by two `control-z' characters, but
80
if there was such a need, the annotations could be extended with an
81
`escape' annotation which means those three characters as output.
82
 
83
   A simple example of starting up GDB with annotations is:
84
 
85
     $ gdb --annotate=2

2 Limitations of the Annotation Interface
112
*****************************************
113
 
114
The level two annotations mechanism is known to have a number of
115
technical and architectural limitations.  As a consequence, in 2001,
116
with the release of GDB 5.1 and the addition of GDB/MI, the annotation
117
interface was marked as deprecated.
118
 
119
   This chapter discusses the known problems.
120
 
121
2.1 Dependant on CLI output
122
===========================
123
 
124
The annotation interface works by interspersing markups with GDB normal
125
command-line interpreter output.  Unfortunately, this makes the
126
annotation client dependant on not just the annotations, but also the
127
CLI output.  This is because the client is forced to assume that
128
specific GDB commands provide specific information.  Any change to
129
GDB's CLI output modifies or removes that information and,
130
consequently, likely breaks the client.
131
 
132
   Since the GDB/MI output is independent of the CLI, it does not have
133
this problem.
134
 
135
2.2 Scalability
136
===============
137
 
138
The annotation interface relies on value annotations (*note Value
139
Annotations::) and the display mechanism as a way of obtaining
140
up-to-date value information.  These mechanisms are not scalable.
141
 
142
   In a graphical environment, where many values can be displayed
143
simultaneously, a serious performance problem occurs when the client
144
tries to first extract from GDB, and then re-display, all those values.
145
The client should instead only request and update the values that
146
changed.
147
 
148
   The GDB/MI Variable Objects provide just that mechanism.
149
 
150
2.3 Correctness
151
===============
152
 
153
The annotation interface assumes that a variable's value can only be
154
changed when the target is running.  This assumption is not correct.  A
155
single assignment to a single variable can result in the entire target,
156
and all displayed values, needing an update.
157
 
158
   The GDB/MI Variable Objects include a mechanism for efficiently
159
reporting such changes.
160
 
161
2.4 Reliability
162
===============
163
 
164
The GDB/MI interface includes a dedicated test directory
165
(`gdb/gdb.mi'), and any addition or fix to GDB/MI must include
166
testsuite changes.
167
 
168
2.5 Maintainability
169
===================
170
 
171
The annotation mechanism was implemented by interspersing CLI print
172
statements with various annotations.  As a consequence, any CLI output
173
change can alter the annotation output.
174
 
175
   Since the GDB/MI output is independent of the CLI, and the GDB/MI is
176
increasingly implemented independent of the CLI code, its long term
177
maintenance is much easier.

3 Migrating to GDB/MI
183
*********************
184
 
185
By using the `interp mi' command, it is possible for annotation clients
186
to invoke GDB/MI commands, and hence access the GDB/MI.  By doing this,
187
existing annotation clients have a migration path from this obsolete
188
interface to GDB/MI.

192
 
193
4 The Server Prefix
194
*******************
195
 
196
To issue a command to GDB without affecting certain aspects of the
197
state which is seen by users, prefix it with `server '.  This means
198
that this command will not affect the command history, nor will it
199
affect GDB's notion of which command to repeat if  is pressed on a
200
line by itself.
201
 
202
   The server prefix does not affect the recording of values into the
203
value history; to print a value without recording it into the value
204
history, use the `output' command instead of the `print' command.

5 Values
210
********
211
 
212
_Value Annotations have been removed.  GDB/MI instead provides Variable
213
Objects._
214
 
215
   When a value is printed in various contexts, GDB uses annotations to
216
delimit the value from the surrounding text.
217
 
218
   If a value is printed using `print' and added to the value history,
219
the annotation looks like
220
 
221
     ^Z^Zvalue-history-begin HISTORY-NUMBER VALUE-FLAGS
222
     HISTORY-STRING
223
     ^Z^Zvalue-history-value
224
     THE-VALUE
225
     ^Z^Zvalue-history-end
226
 
227
where HISTORY-NUMBER is the number it is getting in the value history,
228
HISTORY-STRING is a string, such as `$5 = ', which introduces the value
229
to the user, THE-VALUE is the output corresponding to the value itself,
230
and VALUE-FLAGS is `*' for a value which can be dereferenced and `-'
231
for a value which cannot.
232
 
233
   If the value is not added to the value history (it is an invalid
234
float or it is printed with the `output' command), the annotation is
235
similar:
236
 
237
     ^Z^Zvalue-begin VALUE-FLAGS
238
     THE-VALUE
239
     ^Z^Zvalue-end
240
 
241
   When GDB prints an argument to a function (for example, in the output
242
from the `backtrace' command), it annotates it as follows:
243
 
244
     ^Z^Zarg-begin
245
     ARGUMENT-NAME
246
     ^Z^Zarg-name-end
247
     SEPARATOR-STRING
248
     ^Z^Zarg-value VALUE-FLAGS
249
     THE-VALUE
250
     ^Z^Zarg-end
251
 
252
where ARGUMENT-NAME is the name of the argument, SEPARATOR-STRING is
253
text which separates the name from the value for the user's benefit
254
(such as `='), and VALUE-FLAGS and THE-VALUE have the same meanings as
255
in a `value-history-begin' annotation.
256
 
257
   When printing a structure, GDB annotates it as follows:
258
 
259
     ^Z^Zfield-begin VALUE-FLAGS
260
     FIELD-NAME
261
     ^Z^Zfield-name-end
262
     SEPARATOR-STRING
263
     ^Z^Zfield-value
264
     THE-VALUE
265
     ^Z^Zfield-end
266
 
267
where FIELD-NAME is the name of the field, SEPARATOR-STRING is text
268
which separates the name from the value for the user's benefit (such as
269
`='), and VALUE-FLAGS and THE-VALUE have the same meanings as in a
270
`value-history-begin' annotation.
271
 
272
   When printing an array, GDB annotates it as follows:
273
 
274
     ^Z^Zarray-section-begin ARRAY-INDEX VALUE-FLAGS
275
 
276
where ARRAY-INDEX is the index of the first element being annotated and
277
VALUE-FLAGS has the same meaning as in a `value-history-begin'
278
annotation.  This is followed by any number of elements, where is
279
element can be either a single element:
280
 
281
     `,' WHITESPACE         ; omitted for the first element
282
     THE-VALUE
283
     ^Z^Zelt
284
 
285
   or a repeated element
286
 
287
     `,' WHITESPACE         ; omitted for the first element
288
     THE-VALUE
289
     ^Z^Zelt-rep NUMBER-OF-REPETITIONS
290
     REPETITION-STRING
291
     ^Z^Zelt-rep-end
292
 
293
   In both cases, THE-VALUE is the output for the value of the element
294
and WHITESPACE can contain spaces, tabs, and newlines.  In the repeated
295
case, NUMBER-OF-REPETITIONS is the number of consecutive array elements
296
which contain that value, and REPETITION-STRING is a string which is
297
designed to convey to the user that repetition is being depicted.
298
 
299
   Once all the array elements have been output, the array annotation is
300
ended with
301
 
302
     ^Z^Zarray-section-end
303

6 Frames
308
********
309
 
310
_Value Annotations have been removed.  GDB/MI instead provides a number
311
of frame commands._
312
 
313
   _Frame annotations are no longer available.  The GDB/MI provides
314
`-stack-list-arguments', `-stack-list-locals', and `-stack-list-frames'
315
commands._
316
 
317
   Whenever GDB prints a frame, it annotates it.  For example, this
318
applies to frames printed when GDB stops, output from commands such as
319
`backtrace' or `up', etc.
320
 
321
   The frame annotation begins with
322
 
323
     ^Z^Zframe-begin LEVEL ADDRESS
324
     LEVEL-STRING
325
 
326
where LEVEL is the number of the frame (0 is the innermost frame, and
327
other frames have positive numbers), ADDRESS is the address of the code
328
executing in that frame, and LEVEL-STRING is a string designed to
329
convey the level to the user.  ADDRESS is in the form `0x' followed by
330
one or more lowercase hex digits (note that this does not depend on the
331
language).  The frame ends with
332
 
333
     ^Z^Zframe-end
334
 
335
   Between these annotations is the main body of the frame, which can
336
consist of
337
 
338
   *      ^Z^Zfunction-call
339
          FUNCTION-CALL-STRING
340
 
341
     where FUNCTION-CALL-STRING is text designed to convey to the user
342
     that this frame is associated with a function call made by GDB to a
343
     function in the program being debugged.
344
 
345
   *      ^Z^Zsignal-handler-caller
346
          SIGNAL-HANDLER-CALLER-STRING
347
 
348
     where SIGNAL-HANDLER-CALLER-STRING is text designed to convey to
349
     the user that this frame is associated with whatever mechanism is
350
     used by this operating system to call a signal handler (it is the
351
     frame which calls the signal handler, not the frame for the signal
352
     handler itself).
353
 
354
   * A normal frame.
355
 
356
     This can optionally (depending on whether this is thought of as
357
     interesting information for the user to see) begin with
358
 
359
          ^Z^Zframe-address
360
          ADDRESS
361
          ^Z^Zframe-address-end
362
          SEPARATOR-STRING
363
 
364
     where ADDRESS is the address executing in the frame (the same
365
     address as in the `frame-begin' annotation, but printed in a form
366
     which is intended for user consumption--in particular, the syntax
367
     varies depending on the language), and SEPARATOR-STRING is a string
368
     intended to separate this address from what follows for the user's
369
     benefit.
370
 
371
     Then comes
372
 
373
          ^Z^Zframe-function-name
374
          FUNCTION-NAME
375
          ^Z^Zframe-args
376
          ARGUMENTS
377
 
378
     where FUNCTION-NAME is the name of the function executing in the
379
     frame, or `??' if not known, and ARGUMENTS are the arguments to
380
     the frame, with parentheses around them (each argument is annotated
381
     individually as well, *note Value Annotations::).
382
 
383
     If source information is available, a reference to it is then
384
     printed:
385
 
386
          ^Z^Zframe-source-begin
387
          SOURCE-INTRO-STRING
388
          ^Z^Zframe-source-file
389
          FILENAME
390
          ^Z^Zframe-source-file-end
391
          :
392
          ^Z^Zframe-source-line
393
          LINE-NUMBER
394
          ^Z^Zframe-source-end
395
 
396
     where SOURCE-INTRO-STRING separates for the user's benefit the
397
     reference from the text which precedes it, FILENAME is the name of
398
     the source file, and LINE-NUMBER is the line number within that
399
     file (the first line is line 1).
400
 
401
     If GDB prints some information about where the frame is from (which
402
     library, which load segment, etc.; currently only done on the
403
     RS/6000), it is annotated with
404
 
405
          ^Z^Zframe-where
406
          INFORMATION
407
 
408
     Then, if source is to actually be displayed for this frame (for
409
     example, this is not true for output from the `backtrace'
410
     command), then a `source' annotation (*note Source Annotations::)
411
     is displayed.  Unlike most annotations, this is output instead of
412
     the normal text which would be output, not in addition.

the results of the display are annotated:

8 Annotation for GDB Input
452
**************************
453
 
454
When GDB prompts for input, it annotates this fact so it is possible to
455
know when to send output, when the output from a given command is over,
456
etc.
457
 
458
   Different kinds of input each have a different "input type".  Each
459
input type has three annotations: a `pre-' annotation, which denotes
460
the beginning of any prompt which is being output, a plain annotation,
461
which denotes the end of the prompt, and then a `post-' annotation
462
which denotes the end of any echo which may (or may not) be associated
463
with the input.  For example, the `prompt' input type features the
464
following annotations:
465
 
466
     ^Z^Zpre-prompt
467
     ^Z^Zprompt
468
     ^Z^Zpost-prompt
469
 
470
   The input types are
471
 
472
`prompt'
473
     When GDB is prompting for a command (the main GDB prompt).
474
 
475
`commands'
476
     When GDB prompts for a set of commands, like in the `commands'
477
     command.  The annotations are repeated for each command which is
478
     input.
479
 
480
`overload-choice'
481
     When GDB wants the user to select between various overloaded
482
     functions.
483
 
484
`query'
485
     When GDB wants the user to confirm a potentially dangerous
486
     operation.
487
 
488
`prompt-for-continue'
489
     When GDB is asking the user to press return to continue.  Note:
490
     Don't expect this to work well; instead use `set height 0' to
491
     disable prompting.  This is because the counting of lines is buggy
492
     in the presence of annotations.

     ^Z^Zquit

   This annotation occurs right before GDB responds to an interrupt.
503
 
504
     ^Z^Zerror
505
 
506
   This annotation occurs right before GDB responds to an error.
507
 
508
   Quit and error annotations indicate that any annotations which GDB
509
was in the middle of may end abruptly.  For example, if a
510
`value-history-begin' annotation is followed by a `error', one cannot
511
expect to receive the matching `value-history-end'.  One cannot expect
512
not to receive it either, however; an error annotation does not
513
necessarily mean that GDB is immediately returning all the way to the
514
top level.
515
 
516
   A quit or error annotation may be preceded by
517
 
518
     ^Z^Zerror-begin
519
 
520
   Any output between that and the quit or error annotation is the error
521
message.

10 Information on Breakpoints
529
*****************************
530
 
531
_Breakpoint Annotations have been removed.  GDB/MI instead provides
532
breakpoint commands._
533
 
534
   The output from the `info breakpoints' command is annotated as
535
follows:
536
 
537
     ^Z^Zbreakpoints-headers
538
     HEADER-ENTRY
539
     ^Z^Zbreakpoints-table
540
 
541
where HEADER-ENTRY has the same syntax as an entry (see below) but
542
instead of containing data, it contains strings which are intended to
543
convey the meaning of each field to the user.  This is followed by any
544
number of entries.  If a field does not apply for this entry, it is
545
omitted.  Fields may contain trailing whitespace.  Each entry consists
546
of:
547
 
548
     ^Z^Zrecord
549
     ^Z^Zfield 0
550

11 Invalidation Notices
581
***********************
582
 
583
The following annotations say that certain pieces of state may have
584
changed.
585
 
586
`^Z^Zframes-invalid'
587
     The frames (for example, output from the `backtrace' command) may
588
     have changed.
589
 
590
`^Z^Zbreakpoints-invalid'
591
     The breakpoints may have changed.  For example, the user just
592
     added or deleted a breakpoint.

12 Running the Program
598
**********************
599
 
600
When the program starts executing due to a GDB command such as `step'
601
or `continue',
602
 
603
     ^Z^Zstarting
604
 
605
   is output.  When the program stops,
606
 
607
     ^Z^Zstopped
608
 
609
   is output.  Before the `stopped' annotation, a variety of
610
annotations describe how the program stopped.
611
 
612
`^Z^Zexited EXIT-STATUS'
613
     The program exited, and EXIT-STATUS is the exit status (zero for
614
     successful exit, otherwise nonzero).
615
 
616
`^Z^Zsignalled'
617
     The program exited with a signal.  After the `^Z^Zsignalled', the
618
     annotation continues:
619
 
620
          INTRO-TEXT
621
          ^Z^Zsignal-name
622
          NAME
623
          ^Z^Zsignal-name-end
624
          MIDDLE-TEXT
625
          ^Z^Zsignal-string
626
          STRING
627
          ^Z^Zsignal-string-end
628
          END-TEXT
629
 
630
     where NAME is the name of the signal, such as `SIGILL' or
631
     `SIGSEGV', and STRING is the explanation of the signal, such as
632
     `Illegal Instruction' or `Segmentation fault'.  INTRO-TEXT,
633
     MIDDLE-TEXT, and END-TEXT are for the user's benefit and have no
634
     particular format.
635
 
636
`^Z^Zsignal'
637
     The syntax of this annotation is just like `signalled', but GDB is
638
     just saying that the program received the signal, not that it was
639
     terminated with it.
640
 
641
`^Z^Zbreakpoint NUMBER'
642
     The program hit breakpoint number NUMBER.
643
 
644
`^Z^Zwatchpoint NUMBER'
645
     The program hit watchpoint number NUMBER.

13 Displaying Source
651
********************
652
 
653
The following annotation is used instead of displaying source code:
654
 
655
     ^Z^Zsource FILENAME:LINE:CHARACTER:MIDDLE:ADDR
656
 
657
   where FILENAME is an absolute file name indicating which source
658
file, LINE is the line number within that file (where 1 is the first
659
line in the file), CHARACTER is the character position within the file
660
(where 0 is the first character in the file) (for most debug formats
661
this will necessarily point to the beginning of a line), MIDDLE is
662
`middle' if ADDR is in the middle of the line, or `beg' if ADDR is at
663
the beginning of the line, and ADDR is the address in the target
664
program associated with the source which is being displayed.  ADDR is
665
in the form `0x' followed by one or more lowercase hex digits (note
666
that this does not depend on the language).

674
The following annotations report thread related changes of state.
675
 
676
`^Z^Znew-thread'
677
     This annotation is issued once for each thread that is created
678
     apart from the main thread, which is not reported.
679
 
680
`^Z^Zthread-changed'
681
     The selected thread has changed.  This may occur at the request of
682
     the user with the `thread' command, or as a result of execution,
683
     e.g., another thread hits a breakpoint.

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
698
     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

700
  0. PREAMBLE
701
 
702
     The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
703
     functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
704
     assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
705
     with or without modifying it, either commercially or
706
     noncommercially.  Secondarily, this License preserves for the
707
     author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
708
     being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
709
 
710
     This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
711
     works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
712
     It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
713
     license designed for free software.
714
 
715
     We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
716
     free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
717
     free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
718
     that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
719
     software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
720
     of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
721
     We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
722
     instruction or reference.
723
 
724
  1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
725
 
726
     This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
727
     that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
728
     can be distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice
729
     grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
730
     to use that work under the conditions stated herein.  The
731
     "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.  Any member
732
     of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".  You
733
     accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
734
     way requiring permission under copyright law.
735
 
736
     A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
737
     Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
738
     modifications and/or translated into another language.
739
 
740
     A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
741
     of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
742
     publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
743
     subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
744
     fall directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document
745
     is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
746
     explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
747
     historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
748
     of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
749
     regarding them.
750
 
751
     The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
752
     titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
753
     the notice that says that the Document is released under this
754
     License.  If a section does not fit the above definition of
755
     Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
756
     The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections.  If the Document
757
     does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
758
 
759
     The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
760
     listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
761
     that says that the Document is released under this License.  A
762
     Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
763
     be at most 25 words.
764
 
765
     A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
766
     represented in a format whose specification is available to the
767
     general public, that is suitable for revising the document
768
     straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
769
     composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
770
     widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
771
     text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
772
     formats suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an
773
     otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
774
     markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
775
     modification by readers is not Transparent.  An image format is
776
     not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text.  A
777
     copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
778
 
779
     Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
780
     ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
781
     SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
782
     standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
783
     human modification.  Examples of transparent image formats include
784
     PNG, XCF and JPG.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
785
     can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
786
     XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
787
     available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
788
     produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
789
 
790
     The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
791
     plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
792
     material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
793
     works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
794
     Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
795
     work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
796
 
797
     The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
798
     of the Document to the public.
799
 
800
     A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
801
     whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
802
     following text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ
803
     stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
804
     "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
805
     To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
806
     Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
807
     to this definition.
808
 
809
     The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
810
     which states that this License applies to the Document.  These
811
     Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
812
     this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
813
     implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
814
     has no effect on the meaning of this License.
815
 
816
  2. VERBATIM COPYING
817
 
818
     You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
819
     commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
820
     copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
821
     applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
822
     add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
823
     may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
824
     or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
825
     you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
826
     distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
827
     the conditions in section 3.
828
 
829
     You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
830
     and you may publicly display copies.
831
 
832
  3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
833
 
834
     If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
835
     have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
836
     the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
837
     enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
838
     these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
839
     Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
840
     and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
841
     front cover must present the full title with all words of the
842
     title equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material
843
     on the covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the
844
     covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
845
     satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
846
     other respects.
847
 
848
     If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
849
     legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
850
     reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
851
     adjacent pages.
852
 
853
     If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
854
     numbering more than 100, you must either include a
855
     machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
856
     state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
857
     which the general network-using public has access to download
858
     using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
859
     copy of the Document, free of added material.  If you use the
860
     latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
861
     begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
862
     this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
863
     location until at least one year after the last time you
864
     distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
865
     retailers) of that edition to the public.
866
 
867
     It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
868
     the Document well before redistributing any large number of
869
     copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
870
     version of the Document.
871
 
872
  4. MODIFICATIONS
873
 
874
     You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
875
     under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
876
     release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
877
     the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
878
     licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
879
     whoever possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these
880
     things in the Modified Version:
881
 
882
       A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
883
          distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
884
          previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
885
          in the History section of the Document).  You may use the
886
          same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
887
          that version gives permission.
888
 
889
       B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
890
          entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
891
          the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
892
          principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
893
          authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
894
          from this requirement.
895
 
896
       C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
897
          Modified Version, as the publisher.
898
 
899
       D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
900
 
901
       E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
902
          adjacent to the other copyright notices.
903
 
904
       F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
905
          notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
906
          Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
907
          the Addendum below.
908
 
909
       G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
910
          Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
911
          license notice.
912
 
913
       H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
914
 
915
       I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
916
          and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
917
          authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
918
          the Title Page.  If there is no section Entitled "History" in
919
          the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
920
          and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
921
          then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
922
          the previous sentence.
923
 
924
       J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
925
          for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
926
          likewise the network locations given in the Document for
927
          previous versions it was based on.  These may be placed in
928
          the "History" section.  You may omit a network location for a
929
          work that was published at least four years before the
930
          Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
931
          it refers to gives permission.
932
 
933
       K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
934
          Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
935
          section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
936
          acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
937
 
938
       L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
939
          unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
940
          or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
941
          titles.
942
 
943
       M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
944
          may not be included in the Modified Version.
945
 
946
       N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
947
          "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
948
          Section.
949
 
950
       O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
951
 
952
     If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
953
     appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
954
     material copied from the Document, you may at your option
955
     designate some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this,
956
     add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
957
     Version's license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any
958
     other section titles.
959
 
960
     You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
961
     nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
962
     parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
963
     has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
964
     definition of a standard.
965
 
966
     You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
967
     and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
968
     of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one
969
     passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
970
     added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the
971
     Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
972
     previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
973
     you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
974
     replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
975
     publisher that added the old one.
976
 
977
     The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
978
     License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
979
     assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
980
 
981
  5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
982
 
983
     You may combine the Document with other documents released under
984
     this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
985
     modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
986
     all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
987
     unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
988
     combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
989
     their Warranty Disclaimers.
990
 
991
     The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
992
     multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
993
     copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
994
     but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
995
     by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
996
     original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
997
     unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
998
     the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
999
     combined work.
1000
 
1001
     In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
1002
     "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
1003
     Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
1004
     "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications".  You
1005
     must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
1006
 
1007
  6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
1008
 
1009
     You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
1010
     documents released under this License, and replace the individual
1011
     copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
1012
     that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
1013
     rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
1014
     documents in all other respects.
1015
 
1016
     You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
1017
     distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
1018
     a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
1019
     this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
1020
     that document.
1021
 
1022
  7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
1023
 
1024
     A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
1025
     separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
1026
     a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
1027
     copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
1028
     legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
1029
     works permit.  When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
1030
     License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
1031
     are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
1032
 
1033
     If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
1034
     copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
1035
     of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
1036
     on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
1037
     electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
1038
     form.  Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
1039
     the whole aggregate.
1040
 
1041
  8. TRANSLATION
1042
 
1043
     Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
1044
     distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
1045
     4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
1046
     permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
1047
     translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
1048
     original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
1049
     translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
1050
     Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
1051
     include the original English version of this License and the
1052
     original versions of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a
1053
     disagreement between the translation and the original version of
1054
     this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
1055
     prevail.
1056
 
1057
     If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
1058
     "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
1059
     Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
1060
     actual title.
1061
 
1062
  9. TERMINATION
1063
 
1064
     You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
1065
     except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
1066
     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
1067
     and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
1068
 
1069
     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
1070
     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
1071
     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly
1072
     and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
1073
     copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
1074
     reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
1075
 
1076
     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
1077
     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
1078
     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
1079
     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
1080
     that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
1081
     after your receipt of the notice.
1082
 
1083
     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
1084
     the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from
1085
     you under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and
1086
     not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of
1087
     the same material does not give you any rights to use it.
1088
 
1089
 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
1090
 
1091
     The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
1092
     the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
1093
     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
1094
     differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
1095
     `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
1096
 
1097
     Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
1098
     number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
1099
     version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
1100
     have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
1101
     that specified version or of any later version that has been
1102
     published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If
1103
     the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
1104
     you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
1105
     Free Software Foundation.  If the Document specifies that a proxy
1106
     can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
1107
     proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
1108
     authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
1109
 
1110
 11. RELICENSING
1111
 
1112
     "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
1113
     World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
1114
     provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works.  A
1115
     public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
1116
     A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
1117
     site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
1118
     site.
1119
 
1120
     "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
1121
     license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
1122
     corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
1123
     California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
1124
     published by that same organization.
1125
 
1126
     "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
1127
     in part, as part of another Document.
1128
 
1129
     An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
1130
     License, and if all works that were first published under this
1131
     License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
1132
     incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
1133
     texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
1134
     to November 1, 2008.
1135
 
1136
     The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
1137
     site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
1138
     2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
1139
 
1140
 
1141
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
1142
====================================================
1143
 
1144
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
1145
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
1146
notices just after the title page:
1147
 
1148
       Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
1149
       Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
1150
       under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
1151
       or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
1152
       with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
1153
       Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
1154
       Free Documentation License''.
1155
 
1156
   If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
1157
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
1158
 
1159
         with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
1160
         the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
1161
         being LIST.
1162
 
1163
   If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
1164
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
1165
situation.
1166
 
1167
   If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
1168
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
1169
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
1170
permit their use in free software.
