SVR4 process information

Many versions of SVR4 provide a facility called /proc that can be used to examine the image of a running process using file-system subroutines. If GDB is configured for an operating system with this facility, the command info proc is available to report on several kinds of information about the process running your program. info proc works only on SVR4 systems that include the procfs code. This includes OSF/1 (Digital Unix), Solaris, Irix, and Unixware, but not HP-UX or GNU/Linux, for example.

info proc
Summarize available information about the process.
info proc mappings
Report on the address ranges accessible in the program, with information on whether your program may read, write, or execute each range.
