Fred, Thanks for your reply, but I've tried strings, objdump, gdb and several commands but little help to my binary-only debug. Any more ideas? Thanks. --Guolin Cheng -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of fred vachon Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 5:47 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: How to debug binary-only modules and binaries Good question. I don't have an answer but am also interested if there is a way to do this. I just wanted to mention the strings command in case you are not already familiar with it. I have found it very useful to show text inside a binary. There is a man page for strings. Fred In response to: Title: *How to debug binary-only modules and binaries* Hi, Nowadays it is not rare that we Linux FC1 users have to use binary-only modules or user-space binaries, and even worse, those binaries are reporting problems from time to time. Are there any tools can we use to debug these binary-only user-space programs and kernel-space modules at first hand? Gdb seems mostly used for debugging binaries with sources. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. --Guolin Cheng -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
