  19 <h2 class="chapter">Specifying a Debugging Target</h2>
  20
  21    <p>A <dfn>target</dfn> is the execution environment occupied by your program.
  22
  23    <p>Often, GDB runs in the same host environment as your program;
  24 in that case, the debugging target is specified as a side effect when
  25 you use the <code>file</code> or <code>core</code> commands.  When you need more
  26 flexibility--for example, running GDB on a physically separate
  27 host, or controlling a standalone system over a serial port or a
  28 realtime system over a TCP/IP connection--you can use the <code>target</code>
  29 command to specify one of the target types configured for GDB
  30 (see <a href="Target-Commands.html#Target%20Commands">Commands for managing targets</a>).
