The goal of CGDB is to be lightweight and responsive; not encumbered with unnecessary features. The interface is designed to deliver the familiar GDB text interface, with a split screen showing the source as it executes. The UI is modeled on the classic Unix text editor, vi. Those familiar with vi should feel right at home using CGDB. The library responsible for communicating with GDB is called Trivial GDB (tgdb, or more accurately, libtgdb). This abstraction allows the UI code to be independent of the debugger, as well as greatly simplifying its implementation. Those wanting to develop other interfaces to GDB are welcome to use libtgdb as the basis for their program. Many of the headaches of parsing GDB's output and annotations can be avoided by using it. Some features offered by CGDB are: * Syntax-highlighted source window * Visual breakpoint setting * Keyboard shortcuts for common functions * Searching source window (using regexp) 1 Getting In and Out of CGDB **************************** This chapter discusses how to start CGDB, and how to get out of it. The essentials are: * type `cgdb' to start CGDB. * type `quit' or `C-d' in the GDB window to exit. * type `:quit' in the source window to exit. This even works if GDB is currently hanging, or operating a long command. 2 Understanding the core concepts of CGDB ***************************************** The CGDB user interface currently consists of two windows and a status bar. The source window is currently on the top and the GDB window is on the bottom. The "status bar" currently separates the two windows. The interface has several modes depending on which window is focused. "CGDB mode" is when the source window is focused, "GDB mode" is when the GDB window is focused and "TTY mode" is when the TTY window is focused. Beginning with CGDB version 1.0, the windows are movable, and the user will be able to create as many or as few that is desired. Currently however, all of my time is spent developing the interface between CGDB and GDB. Once this is complete, the UI of CGDB will become much more polished. If you are a ncurses developer, and have spare time to work on this task, please contact me. 2.1 Understanding the source window. ==================================== The "source window" is the window that provides you a view of the source code that the debugged program is made up of. It will display to the user a single source file at a time. While the user is debugging, via `next' and `step', CGDB will update the source file and line number to keep you informed as to where GDB is debugging. CGDB has several features that make debugging easier than using plain old GDB. One feature you will notice right away while debugging a C, C++ or ADA program, is that the source files are syntax highlighted. This allows the user to easily navigate through the source file to look for certain places in the source code. If you would like to see another source language highlighted, contact us. To understanding how to navigate through the source window look at the commands in *Note CGDB Mode::. In addition to showing the source code, CGDB also displays to the user the currently executing line. The line number will be highlighted green, to represent that the particular line, is the current line being debugged by GDB. Also, CGDB will display an arrow extending from the line number, to the source line. You can configure what type of arrow CGDB uses with the `:set arrowstyle' configuration option. By default, the `short' arrow is used. However, my personal favorite is the `long' arrow. As you navigate through the source window, the current line the cursor is on will be highlighted white. This simply helps you keep track of where you are in the file. Also, you can set or delete breakpoints in CGDB from the source window. Simply navigate to the line that you are interested in setting a breakpoint, and hit the space bar. This will set a breakpoint on the line if one did not already exist. The line number should turn red to indicate that a breakpoint has been set. Hitting the space bar again will delete the breakpoint. If you disable the breakpoint, the line number will turn yellow, to represent the disabled breakpoint. CGDB also supports regular expression searching within the source window. If you type `/' or `?' you can search in the source window for a string of interest. The C library regular expression functions are used to perform this search, which honors things like `*' or `+'. The full list of commands that are available in the source window is in *Note CGDB Mode::. 2.2 Understanding the GDB window. ================================= The "GDB window" is how CGDB allows the user to interface with the GNU debugger. If you wish to pass a command to GDB, simply type it into this window and GDB will receive the command. This interface is intended to be 100% identical to using GDB on a terminal. There is a limited set of keys that can be typed into this window that CGDB interprets and handles, instead of sending to GDB. They are all available in *Note GDB Mode::. CGDB attempts to buffer commands the same way they would be if you typed them at the terminal. So, if you type several commands before a single one finishes, they will each be run in order. There will be no way to stop these commands from being run besides from typing `Ctrl-C', like you would at any normal terminal when working with GDB. 2.3 Understanding the file dialog window. ========================================= The "file dialog window" is available to help the user view and select which file they would like to view. It provides the user with a list of all the files that make up the program being debugged. If there are no files available, because there is no program being debugged or because there is no debug symbols, then the file dialog will not open and a message will be displayed at the status bar. You can get to the file dialog by hitting `o' when you are at the source window. Once you enter the file dialog, it is possible to leave it by hitting `q'. You can navigate the file dialog using the standard direction keys and you can even use regular expression to find your file. This can save a lot of time as the number of files grow. The full list of commands that are available in the source window is in *Note File Dialog Mode::. 2.4 Understanding the TTY window. ================================= The "TTY window" is available to allow the user to pass input to the program being debugged. This window will act similar to the GDB window, except that the data you type will get sent to the program being debugged. *Note Sending I/O to Inferior::. You will notice that the TTY window has a terminal device between it and the program being debugged. So, if the program being debugged uses say readline, which allows command line editing, the same interface will be provided via the TTY window as at the terminal. You can see the name of the terminal device in the TTY status bar. The full list of commands that are available in the source window is in *Note TTY Mode::. Sending I/O to the program being debugged can be confusing. It is described better in *Note Sending I/O to Inferior::. Unless the I/O with the program being debugged is simple, I usually prefer starting the application on a separate terminal and attaching to it with CGDB. 2.5 Understanding the status bar. ================================= The "status bar" is the general purpose way for CGDB to show the user which commands they are currently typing or report errors to the user when they occur. CGDB does not use popup's or other forms of I/O to alert the user of information or problems. While CGDB is running, you can configure it with any of the commands that are valid in CGDB's configuration file. Simply type `:' in the source window, and you will see the colon, and the rest of the command you type appear in the status bar. When you are finished typing the command that you are interested in, type `enter'. This will alert CGDB to execute the command. The full list of commands that are available in the source window is in *Note Configuring CGDB::. 2.6 Switch between windows ========================== When CGDB is invoked, the interface is in "GDB mode". A `*' at the right of the status bar indicates that input will be passed to GDB. To change the focus to the source window, hit . The interface is now in "CGDB mode". To switch back into "GDB mode", press `i'. This syntax is based on the popular Unix text-editor, vi. 3 CGDB commands *************** CGDB can be controlled in a variety of different ways. Each mode that CGDB is in acts differently. Currently CGDB implicitly changes modes depending on which window is active. The following information will help you determine what commands are accessible during which modes. 3.1 Commands available during CGDB mode ======================================= When you are in the source window, you are implicitly in "CGDB mode". All of the below commands are available during this mode. This mode is primarily available for the user to view the current source file, search it, or switch to a different mode. `ESC' Puts the user into command mode. However, you are already in this mode. `i' Puts the user into "GDB mode". `I' Puts the user into "TTY mode". `T' Opens a window to give input to the debugged program. `Ctrl-T' Opens a new tty for the debugged program. `k' `up arrow' Move up a line. `j' `down arrow' Move down a line. `h' `left arrow' Move left a line. `l' `right arrow' Move right a line. `Ctrl-b' `page up' Move up a page. `Ctrl-u' Move up 1/2 a page. `Ctrl-f' `page down' Move down a page. `Ctrl-d' Move down 1/2 a page. `gg' Move to the top of file. `G' Move to the bottom of file. `/' search from current cursor position. `?' reverse search from current cursor position. `n' next forward search. `N' next reverse search. `o' open the file dialog. `spacebar' Sets a breakpoint at the current line number. `t' Sets a temporary breakpoint at the current line number. `-' Shrink source window 1 line. `=' Grow source window 1 line. `_' Shrink source window 25% (or, shrink tty window 1 line, if visible). `+' Grow source window 25% (or, grow tty window 1 line, if visible). `Ctrl-l' Clear and redraw the screen. If you have the `shortcut' option turned on, then the source window will have several more commands available. These commands override the above commands. `r' Send a run command to GDB. `n' Send a next command to GDB. `s' Send a step command to GDB. `c' Send a continue command to GDB. `f' Send a finish command to GDB. `u' Send an up command to GDB. `d' Send a down command to GDB. 3.2 Commands available during GDB mode ====================================== When in "GDB mode", the user is mostly interested in working with the GDB console. That is, sending commands to GDB and receiving data back from GDB. Almost all data passed into this window is directly sent to readline and then to GDB. It is important to understand that CGDB parses the keys entered in the GDB window and has the first chance at dealing with them. If it is interested in the keys, it will handle them. Below is a list of keys that CGDB is interested in, and does not pass along any further. `ESC' Switch back to source window. `page up' Move up a page. `page down' Move down a page. `F11' Go to the beginning of the GDB buffer. `F12' Go to the end of the GDB buffer. Any other keys, besides the ones above, CGDB is currently not interested in. CGDB will pass along these keys to the readline library. When readline has determined that a command has been received, it alerts CGDB, and a command is then sent to GDB. This is the same method used when invoking GDB directly. 3.3 Commands available during the file dialog mode ================================================== The file dialog is primarily used to allow the user to find and open a source file that the program they are debugging is made up of. The file dialog will be full screen, and will list each file that the debugged program is made up of. A usual instance of the file dialog would be to open it up from the source window using the `o' key, and then to search for the file of interest. If you are looking for foo.c type `/foo.c', press `enter' once to finish the regular expression and again to select the file. The commands available in the file dialog are: `q' Will exit the file dialog, and return to the source window. `k' `up arrow' Move up a line. `j' `down arrow' Move down a line. `h' `left arrow' Move left a line. `l' `right arrow' Move right a line. `Ctrl-b' `page up' Move up a page. `Ctrl-f' `page down' Move down a page. `/' search from current cursor position. `?' reverse search from current cursor position. `n' next forward search. `N' next reverse search. `enter' Select the current file. 3.4 Commands available during TTY mode ====================================== `ESC' Switch back to source window. `page up' Move up a page. `page down' Move down a page. `F11' Go to the beginning of the GDB buffer. `F12' Go to the end of the GDB buffer. 4 CGDB configuration commands ***************************** There may be several features that you find useful in CGDB. CGDB is capable of automating any of these commands through the use of the config file called `cgdbrc'. It looks in `$HOME'`/.cgdb/' for that file. If it exists, CGDB executes each line in the file in order. It is as if the user typed in all the commands into the status bar after the tui was initialized. The following variables change the behavior of some aspect of CGDB. Many of these commands may be abbreviated in some way, and all boolean commands my be negated by appending `no' to the front. For example: `:set ignorecase' turns on case-insensitive searching; while `:set noignorecase' turns on case-sensitive searching. `:set as=STYLE' `:set arrowstyle=STYLE' Set the arrow style to STYLE. Possible values for STYLE are `short', `long', and `highlight'. Changes the style of the arrow that is used to indicate the currently executing line in the source viewer. The default value is short. A longer arrow is available, for easier readability. Finally, the `highlight' option draws no arrow at all, instead drawing the entire line in inverse video. `:set asr' `:set autosourcereload' If this is on, CGDB will automatically reload a source file if it has changed since CGDB has opened it. If it is off, the file will never be reloaded, until you start CGDB again. The default is off. This feature is useful when you are debugging a program, then you modify a source file, recompile, and type `r' in GDB's CLI window. The file in this case will be updated to show the new version. Note, CGDB only looks at the timestamp of the source file to determine if it has changed. So if you modify the source file, and didn't recompile yet, CGDB will still pick up on the changes. `:set escdelay=DELAY' Set the length of time to wait before timing out and treating the keystroke as the character rather than combining it with other characters in the buffer to create a key sequence. The variable is measured in milli seconds. If DELAY is 0, the system immediately composes the ESCAPE response without waiting for more information from the buffer. DELAY may be any value between 0 and 10000, inclusive. The default setting for the DELAY variable is 40 (forty hundredths of a second). `:set ic' `:set ignorecase' Sets searching case insensitive. The default is off. `:set sc' `:set shortcut' Enables shortcut commands typed in source window. The default is off. *Note CGDB Mode::. `:set stc' `:set showtgdbcommands' If this is on, CGDB will show all of the commands that it sends to GDB. If it is off, CGDB will not show the commands that it gives to GDB. The default is off. `:set syn=STYLE' `:set syntax=STYLE' Sets the current highlighting mode of the current file to have the syntax STYLE. Possible values for SYNTAX are `c', `ada', and `off'. Normally, the user will never have to do this, since CGDB automatically detects what syntax a file should be based on its file extension. However, this feature can currently be useful for debugging purposes. `:set ts=NUMBER' `:set tabstop=NUMBER' Sets the number of spaces that should be rendered on the screen for characters. The default value for NUMBER is 8. `:set wmh=NUMBER' `:set winminheight=NUMBER' The minimal height of a window. Windows will never become smaller than this value. The default value for NUMBER is 0. `:set winsplit=STYLE' Set the split point between source and GDB window. This is especially useful as an init setting in your `cgdbrc' file. *Note Configuring CGDB::. The possible values for STYLE are `top_full', `top_big', `even', `bottom_big', and `bottom_full'. `:set ws' `:set wrapscan' Searches wrap around the end of file. The default is on. `:continue' Send a continue command to GDB. `:e' `:edit' reloads the file in the source window. this can be useful if the file has changed since it was opened by cgdb. `:finish' Send a finish command to GDB. `:help' This will display the current manual in text format, in the "source window". `:hi GROUP cterm=ATTRIBUTES ctermfg=COLOR ctermbg=COLOR term=ATTRIBUTES' `:highlight GROUP cterm=ATTRIBUTES ctermfg=COLOR ctermbg=COLOR term=ATTRIBUTES' Set the COLOR and ATTRIBUTES for a highlighting group. The syntax mimics vim's "highlight" command. Possible values for GROUP, ATTRIBUTES and COLOR are available in *Note Highlighting Groups::. You can give as many or as few of the name=value pairs as you wish, in any order. `ctermfg' and `ctermbg' set the foreground and background colors. These can be specified by color number or by using the same color names that vim uses. When CGDB is linked with ncurses, the number you use to represent the color can be between -1 and COLORS. When CGDB is linked against curses, it must be between 0 and COLORS. `cterm' sets the video attributes for color terminals. `term' sets the video attributes for monochrome terminals. Some examples are, :highlight Logo cterm=bold,underline ctermfg=Red ctermbg=Black :highlight Normal cterm=reverse ctermfg=White ctermbg=Black :hi Normal term=bold `:insert' Move focus to the GDB window. `:next' Send a next command to GDB. `:q' `:quit' Quit CGDB. `:run' Send a run command to GDB. `:step' Send a step command to GDB. `:syntax' Turn the syntax on or off. 5 CGDB highlighting groups ************************** CGDB is capable of using colors if the terminal it is run in supports them. Until version 0.6.1, CGDB did not allow the user to configure these colors in any way. CGDB color use is now fully configurable. CGDB's modeled its use of color highlighting after vim. Any data that will be colored in the terminal is represented by a highlighting group. A "highlighting group" represents data that should be formatted using foreground colors, background colors and attributes. There are currently several types of highlighting groups in CGDB. There are syntax highlighting groups, which represent syntax highlighting of sources files. There are also User Interface groups, which represent things like CGDB's logo, or the status bar. Each highlighting group has a default set of attributes and colors associated with it. You can modify a highlighting groups properties by using the highlight command. *Note Configuring CGDB::. Note that CGDB currently supports using the same background color the terminal was using before CGDB was started. However, this only works when CGDB was linked with ncurses. If you link CGDB with curses, then CGDB will force the background to Black. 5.1 The different highlighting groups ===================================== Below is a list of all the highlighting groups that CDGB will use when syntax highlighting source files. `Statement' This represents the keywords a language defines. `Type' This represents the types a language defines. `Constant' This represents either a string or numeric value. `Comment' This represents the comments in a source file. `PreProc' This represents the C/C++ preprocessor commands. `Normal' This represents all normal text. Below is a list of all the highlighting groups that CGDB will use when it is displaying it's User Interface. `StatusLine' This represents the "status bar" in CGDB. The file dialog's status bar also uses this group. `IncSearch' This represents the group used when the user is searching in either the source window, or the "file dialog window". `Arrow' This represents the arrow that CGDB draws to point to the currently viewed line. `LineHighlight' This represents the group used when the user has the `arrowstyle' option set to `highlight'. `Breakpoint' This represents the group that is used when CGDB displays a line that has a breakpoint set. `DisabledBreakpoint' This represents the group that is used when CGDB displays a line that has a disabled breakpoint set. `Logo' This is the group CGDB uses to display its logo on startup when no source file can be auto detected. 5.2 The different attributes ============================ CGDB supports many of the attributes that curses provides. It will apply the attributes to the output window, but it is up to the terminal you are using to support such features. The list of attributes that CGDB currently supports is below. `normal' `NONE' This will leave the text normal. Uses A_NORMAL curses attribute. `bold' This will make the text appear bold. Uses A_BOLD curses attribute. `underline' This will underline the text. Uses A_UNDERLINE curses attribute. `reverse' `inverse' This will reverse the foreground and background colors. Uses A_REVERSE curses attribute. `standout' This is the best highlighting mode of the terminal. Uses A_STANDOUT curses attribute. `blink' This will cause the text to blink. Uses A_BLINK curses attribute. `dim' This will cause the text to be 1/2 bright. Uses A_DIM curses attribute. 5.3 The different colors ======================== CGDB supports several colors, depending on how many colors your terminal supports. Below is a chart of the colors that CGDB provides. The heading NR-16 is used to represent terminals that support at least 16 colors. The heading NR-8 is used to represent terminals that support at least 8 colors. The integer values for each color represent the values passed to the curses function init_pair() to ask curses to create a new color. `COLOR NAME' `NR-16' `NR-8' `NR-8 bold attribute' Black 0 0 No DarkBlue 1 4 No DarkGreen 2 2 No DarkCyan 3 6 No DarkRed 4 1 No DarkMagenta 5 5 No Brown, DarkYellow 6 3 No LightGray, LightGrey, Gray, 7 7 No Grey DarkGray, DarkGrey 8 0 Yes Blue, LightBlue 9 4 Yes Green, LightGreen 10 2 Yes Cyan, LightCyan 11 6 Yes Red, LightRed 12 1 Yes Magenta, LightMagenta 13 5 Yes Yellow, LightYellow 14 3 Yes White 15 7 Yes 6 Sending I/O to the program being debugged ******************************************* If the program being debugged takes input on the terminal it is recommended that the user start the program on one terminal, and attach to it with CGDB from another terminal. This is the easiest way to pass input to the debugged program. However, if the user wishes to pass input to the program being debugged from within CGDB, there is a mechanism available for doing so. As of this writing, the technique described below does not work on windows, using a natively compiled GDB. It may work when using the GDB that comes with Cygwin. This technique is similar to getting in and out of "GDB mode". The tty window is not visible by default. This is because it is only needed if the user wishes to send data to the program being debugged. To display the tty window, hit `T' while in command mode. After hitting `T' you will notice that there is another window in the middle of the "source window" and the "gdb window". This is called the "tty window". You will also see a new status bar called the tty status bar. There will be a `*' on the tty status bar after the `T' was hit. This is because when the window is opened with the `T' command, CGDB automatically puts the user into "TTY mode". To get out of this window hit . This will put you back into command mode. To make the tty window appear and disappear hit the `T' key while in command mode. It is a toggle. Once the tty window is already open, the user can then hit `I' in command mode to get into "TTY mode". The user can then hit in "TTY mode" to get back into command mode. When the tty window is open, all data that comes from the program, goes there. Any data typed into the tty window will ONLY go to the program being debugged. It will not go to GDB. When the tty window is closed, all output from the debugged program will go to the "GDB window" AND to the "tty window" (for viewing later when the tty window is opened). If the user wishes to get a new tty for the program being debugged then they can type `Ctrl-T'. This will delete all the buffered data waiting to be read into the debugged program. This might be useful when you rerun or start a new program. 7 Allowing terminal control flow in CGDB **************************************** A user can typically set there control flow behavior by using the stty command like so `stty -ixon -ixoff'. This will disable control flow on the terminal where CGDB is started. If you want to turn control flow back on you can type `stty ixon ixoff'. If flow control is on, when the user types `Ctrl-s', the terminal stops. When the user types `Ctrl-q', the terminal restarts. When using readline, the `Ctrl-s' character usually does a forward search. So, if you want to get this, or other functionality out of readline, simply turn off control flow and start CGDB. 8 Building CGDB from source *************************** Building CGDB from source requires several packages. First, CGDB is hosted at http://sf.net/projects/cgdb. You can determine how to get CGDB from source by looking here: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=72581. Once you have the source to CGDB, now you can begin to build it. You will of course need many packages to build CGDB. Below is a list of all of them that are required to build CGDB. `GNU Make' I have successfully used version 3.79.1, however, older versions probably will work. `GNU GCC' The GNU C compiler. I've compiled CGDB with versions as old as 2.9.5, and as new as 4.0.2. `GNU Readline' The GNU readline library version 5.1. CGDB will not work with versions before 5.1. Readline was modified specifically to work with CGDB. `GNU Ncurses' I have successfully used libncurses.so.5 successfully. However, older versions probably will work. Below is a list of optional packages you will need, if modifying certain files in CGDB. `GNU Flex' If you modify any files with an extension of `.l', you will have to have flex installed. I have used flex 2.5.4 to build CGDB. `GNU Texinfo' If you modify `doc/cgdb.texinfo', then you will be required to have this package installed. I have used version 4.7 to build the documentation for CGDB. `help2man' If you are doing a release, then you will be required to have this package installed. In the `doc/' build directory, you can execute the command `make cgdb.1', and the CGDB man page will be generated. CGDB uses autoconf/automake to build its configure scripts and makefiles. So, if you change any of the autoconf/automake files, you will need this software installed. `GNU Automake' This has the program aclocal, and must be version Version 1.9.5. `GNU Autoconf' This has the program autoconf, and must be version 2.59. `GNU m4' This has the program m4, and must be version 1.4.3.

A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License. 2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. 8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. 9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. A.1.1 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents ---------------------------------------------------------- To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page: Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''. If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this: with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
