conclusions. Use these commands to manage @value{GDBN}'s view of the
current ABI.
@cindex OS ABI
@kindex set osabi
One @value{GDBN} configuration can debug binaries for multiple operating
system targets, either via remote debugging or native emulation.
@value{GDBN} will autodetect the @dfn{OS ABI} (Operating System ABI) in use,
but you can override its conclusion using the @code{set osabi} command.
One example where this is useful is in debugging of binaries which use
an alternate C library (e.g.@: @sc{uClibc} for @sc{gnu}/Linux) which does
not have the same identifying marks that the standard C library for your
platform provides.
@table @code
@item show osabi
Show the OS ABI currently in use.
@item set osabi
With no argument, show the list of registered available OS ABI's.
@item set osabi @var{abi}
Set the current OS ABI to @var{abi}.
