 Stopping and Continuing
 ***********************
 
    The principal purposes of using a debugger are so that you can stop
 your program before it terminates; or so that, if your program runs into
 trouble, you can investigate and find out why.
 
    Inside GDB, your program may stop for any of several reasons, such
 as a signal, a breakpoint, or reaching a new line after a GDB command
 such as `step'.  You may then examine and change variables, set new
 breakpoints or remove old ones, and then continue execution.  Usually,
 the messages shown by GDB provide ample explanation of the status of
 your program--but you can also explicitly request this information at
 any time.
 
 `info program'
      Display information about the status of your program: whether it is
      running or not, what process it is, and why it stopped.
