Opening the GDB GUI Interface

The windows that appear upon launching GDB (Figure 1) are the Command window (Figure 1; also shown in Figure 3) and the Source window (Figure 1; also shown in Figure 8).

Depending on your configuration, the Command window is prominent initially, and the Source window is subordinate.

The Command window serves as an interpreter for all the debugging commands that you type in while in the Source window to display all the source code for the debugging process.
