πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… gdbstub_exit(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual but make it make sense πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for gdbstub_exit β€” yes it's a section 9 page, yes it's tiny, yes it still ate πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

gdbstub_exit β€” sends an exit message to GDB. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void gdbstub_exit (int status );

literally one function, one arg, zero drama. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • status β€” the exit code you're reporting. yep, that's the whole thing, it's just the exit code, and yes you do have to give it one πŸ’€

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Kernel file ./kernel/debug/gdbstub.c β€” go read the source, iykyk, that's where the main character energy actually lives πŸ”₯

lowkey a reminder that this page is short β€” there are no extra options, no env vars, no exit statuses listed, no bugs, no warnings. if you were waiting for more lore, the lore is in ./kernel/debug/gdbstub.c. periodt πŸ’…

and that's a wrap on our lil page from ./kernel/debug, dated October 2026, bestie β€” stay slay, stay debugging, and may your exit codes always be intentional πŸ§šπŸ’œβ­
