  20    <p>The GDB command <code>target</code> lets you connect to a VxWorks target on the
  21 network.  To connect to a target whose host name is "<code>tt</code>", type:
  22
  23 <pre class="example">     (vxgdb) target vxworks tt
  24      </pre>
  25
  26    GDB displays messages like these:
  27
  28 <pre class="smallexample">     Attaching remote machine across net...
  29      Connected to tt.
  30      </pre>
  31
  32    GDB then attempts to read the symbol tables of any object modules
  33 loaded into the VxWorks target since it was last booted.  GDB locates
  34 these files by searching the directories listed in the command search
  35 path (see <a href="Environment.html#Environment">Your program's environment</a>); if it fails
  36 to find an object file, it displays a message such as:
  37
  38 <pre class="example">     prog.o: No such file or directory.
  39      </pre>
  40
  41    <p>When this happens, add the appropriate directory to the search path with
  42 the GDB command <code>path</code>, and execute the <code>target</code>
  43 command again.
