+
+1 What is an Annotation?
+************************
+
+To produce obsolete level two annotations, start GDB with the
+`--annotate=2' option.
+
+ Annotations start with a newline character, two `control-z'
+characters, and the name of the annotation. If there is no additional
+information associated with this annotation, the name of the annotation
+is followed immediately by a newline. If there is additional
+information, the name of the annotation is followed by a space, the
+additional information, and a newline. The additional information
+cannot contain newline characters.
+
+ Any output not beginning with a newline and two `control-z'
+characters denotes literal output from GDB. Currently there is no need
+for GDB to output a newline followed by two `control-z' characters, but
+if there was such a need, the annotations could be extended with an
+`escape' annotation which means those three characters as output.
+
+ A simple example of starting up GDB with annotations is:
+
+ $ gdb --annotate=2
+ GNU GDB 5.0
+ Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License,

+
+ ^Z^Zpre-prompt
+ (gdb)
+ ^Z^Zprompt
+ quit
+
+ ^Z^Zpost-prompt
+ $
+
+ Here `quit' is input to GDB; the rest is output from GDB. The three
+lines beginning `^Z^Z' (where `^Z' denotes a `control-z' character) are
+annotations; the rest is output from GDB.

+
+2 Limitations of the Annotation Interface
+*****************************************
+
+The level two annotations mechanism is known to have a number of
+technical and architectural limitations. As a consequence, in 2001,
+with the release of GDB 5.1 and the addition of GDB/MI, the annotation
+interface was marked as deprecated.
+
+ This chapter discusses the known problems.
+
+2.1 Dependant on CLI output
+===========================
+
+The annotation interface works by interspersing markups with GDB normal
+command-line interpreter output. Unfortunately, this makes the
+annotation client dependant on not just the annotations, but also the
+CLI output. This is because the client is forced to assume that
+specific GDB commands provide specific information. Any change to
+GDB's CLI output modifies or removes that information and,
+consequently, likely breaks the client.
+
+ Since the GDB/MI output is independent of the CLI, it does not have
+this problem.
+
+2.2 Scalability
+===============
+
+The annotation interface relies on value annotations (*note Value
+Annotations::) and the display mechanism as a way of obtaining
+up-to-date value information. These mechanisms are not scalable.
+
+ In a graphical environment, where many values can be displayed
+simultaneously, a serious performance problem occurs when the client
+tries to first extract from GDB, and then re-display, all those values.
+The client should instead only request and update the values that
+changed.
+
+ The GDB/MI Variable Objects provide just that mechanism.
+
+2.3 Correctness
+===============
+
+The annotation interface assumes that a variable's value can only be
+changed when the target is running. This assumption is not correct. A
+single assignment to a single variable can result in the entire target,
+and all displayed values, needing an update.
+
+ The GDB/MI Variable Objects include a mechanism for efficiently
+reporting such changes.
+
+2.4 Reliability
+===============
+
+The GDB/MI interface includes a dedicated test directory
+(`gdb/gdb.mi'), and any addition or fix to GDB/MI must include
+testsuite changes.
+
+2.5 Maintainability
+===================
+
+The annotation mechanism was implemented by interspersing CLI print
+statements with various annotations. As a consequence, any CLI output
+change can alter the annotation output.
+
+ Since the GDB/MI output is independent of the CLI, and the GDB/MI is
+increasingly implemented independent of the CLI code, its long term
+maintenance is much easier.

+
+3 Migrating to GDB/MI
+*********************
+
+By using the `interp mi' command, it is possible for annotation clients
+to invoke GDB/MI commands, and hence access the GDB/MI. By doing this,
+existing annotation clients have a migration path from this obsolete
+interface to GDB/MI.
+
+
+File: annotate.info, Node: Server Prefix, Next: Value Annotations, Prev: Migrating to GDB/MI, Up: Top
+
+4 The Server Prefix
+*******************
+
+To issue a command to GDB without affecting certain aspects of the
+state which is seen by users, prefix it with `server '. This means
+that this command will not affect the command history, nor will it
+affect GDB's notion of which command to repeat if <RET> is pressed on a
+line by itself.
+
+ The server prefix does not affect the recording of values into the
+value history; to print a value without recording it into the value
+history, use the `output' command instead of the `print' command.
+
+
+File: annotate.info, Node: Value Annotations, Next: Frame Annotations, Prev: Server Prefix, Up: Top
+
+5 Values
+********
+
+_Value Annotations have been removed. GDB/MI instead provides Variable
+Objects._
+
+ When a value is printed in various contexts, GDB uses annotations to
+delimit the value from the surrounding text.
+
+ If a value is printed using `print' and added to the value history,
+the annotation looks like
+
+ ^Z^Zvalue-history-begin HISTORY-NUMBER VALUE-FLAGS
+ HISTORY-STRING
+ ^Z^Zvalue-history-value
+ THE-VALUE
+ ^Z^Zvalue-history-end
+
+where HISTORY-NUMBER is the number it is getting in the value history,
+HISTORY-STRING is a string, such as `$5 = ', which introduces the value
+to the user, THE-VALUE is the output corresponding to the value itself,
+and VALUE-FLAGS is `*' for a value which can be dereferenced and `-'
+for a value which cannot.
+
+ If the value is not added to the value history (it is an invalid
+float or it is printed with the `output' command), the annotation is
+similar:
+
+ ^Z^Zvalue-begin VALUE-FLAGS
+ THE-VALUE
+ ^Z^Zvalue-end
+
+ When GDB prints an argument to a function (for example, in the output
+from the `backtrace' command), it annotates it as follows:
+
+ ^Z^Zarg-begin
+ ARGUMENT-NAME
+ ^Z^Zarg-name-end
+ SEPARATOR-STRING
+ ^Z^Zarg-value VALUE-FLAGS
+ THE-VALUE
+ ^Z^Zarg-end
+
+where ARGUMENT-NAME is the name of the argument, SEPARATOR-STRING is
+text which separates the name from the value for the user's benefit
+(such as `='), and VALUE-FLAGS and THE-VALUE have the same meanings as
+in a `value-history-begin' annotation.
+
+ When printing a structure, GDB annotates it as follows:
+
+ ^Z^Zfield-begin VALUE-FLAGS
+ FIELD-NAME
+ ^Z^Zfield-name-end
+ SEPARATOR-STRING
+ ^Z^Zfield-value
+ THE-VALUE
+ ^Z^Zfield-end
+
+where FIELD-NAME is the name of the field, SEPARATOR-STRING is text
+which separates the name from the value for the user's benefit (such as
+`='), and VALUE-FLAGS and THE-VALUE have the same meanings as in a
+`value-history-begin' annotation.
+
+ When printing an array, GDB annotates it as follows:
+
+ ^Z^Zarray-section-begin ARRAY-INDEX VALUE-FLAGS
+
+where ARRAY-INDEX is the index of the first element being annotated and
+VALUE-FLAGS has the same meaning as in a `value-history-begin'
+annotation. This is followed by any number of elements, where is
+element can be either a single element:
+
+ `,' WHITESPACE ; omitted for the first element
+ THE-VALUE
+ ^Z^Zelt
+
+ or a repeated element
+
+ `,' WHITESPACE ; omitted for the first element
+ THE-VALUE
+ ^Z^Zelt-rep NUMBER-OF-REPETITIONS
+ REPETITION-STRING
+ ^Z^Zelt-rep-end
+
+ In both cases, THE-VALUE is the output for the value of the element
+and WHITESPACE can contain spaces, tabs, and newlines. In the repeated
+case, NUMBER-OF-REPETITIONS is the number of consecutive array elements
+which contain that value, and REPETITION-STRING is a string which is
+designed to convey to the user that repetition is being depicted.
+
+ Once all the array elements have been output, the array annotation is
+ended with
+
+ ^Z^Zarray-section-end
+
+
+File: annotate.info, Node: Frame Annotations, Next: Displays, Prev: Value Annotations, Up: Top
+
+6 Frames
+********
+
+_Value Annotations have been removed. GDB/MI instead provides a number
+of frame commands._
+
+ _Frame annotations are no longer available. The GDB/MI provides
+`-stack-list-arguments', `-stack-list-locals', and `-stack-list-frames'
+commands._
+
+ Whenever GDB prints a frame, it annotates it. For example, this
+applies to frames printed when GDB stops, output from commands such as
+`backtrace' or `up', etc.
+
+ The frame annotation begins with
+
+ ^Z^Zframe-begin LEVEL ADDRESS
+ LEVEL-STRING
+
+where LEVEL is the number of the frame (0 is the innermost frame, and
+other frames have positive numbers), ADDRESS is the address of the code
+executing in that frame, and LEVEL-STRING is a string designed to
+convey the level to the user. ADDRESS is in the form `0x' followed by
+one or more lowercase hex digits (note that this does not depend on the
+language). The frame ends with
+
+ ^Z^Zframe-end
+
+ Between these annotations is the main body of the frame, which can
+consist of
+
+ * ^Z^Zfunction-call
+ FUNCTION-CALL-STRING
+
+ where FUNCTION-CALL-STRING is text designed to convey to the user
+ that this frame is associated with a function call made by GDB to a
+ function in the program being debugged.
+
+ * ^Z^Zsignal-handler-caller
+ SIGNAL-HANDLER-CALLER-STRING
+
+ where SIGNAL-HANDLER-CALLER-STRING is text designed to convey to
+ the user that this frame is associated with whatever mechanism is
+ used by this operating system to call a signal handler (it is the
+ frame which calls the signal handler, not the frame for the signal
+ handler itself).
+
+ * A normal frame.
+
+ This can optionally (depending on whether this is thought of as
+ interesting information for the user to see) begin with
+
+ ^Z^Zframe-address
+ ADDRESS
+ ^Z^Zframe-address-end
+ SEPARATOR-STRING
+
+ where ADDRESS is the address executing in the frame (the same
+ address as in the `frame-begin' annotation, but printed in a form
+ which is intended for user consumption--in particular, the syntax
+ varies depending on the language), and SEPARATOR-STRING is a string
+ intended to separate this address from what follows for the user's
+ benefit.
+
+ Then comes
+
+ ^Z^Zframe-function-name
+ FUNCTION-NAME
+ ^Z^Zframe-args
+ ARGUMENTS
+
+ where FUNCTION-NAME is the name of the function executing in the
+ frame, or `??' if not known, and ARGUMENTS are the arguments to
+ the frame, with parentheses around them (each argument is annotated
+ individually as well, *note Value Annotations::).
+
+ If source information is available, a reference to it is then
+ printed:
+
+ ^Z^Zframe-source-begin
+ SOURCE-INTRO-STRING
+ ^Z^Zframe-source-file
+ FILENAME
+ ^Z^Zframe-source-file-end
+ :
+ ^Z^Zframe-source-line
+ LINE-NUMBER
+ ^Z^Zframe-source-end
+
+ where SOURCE-INTRO-STRING separates for the user's benefit the
+ reference from the text which precedes it, FILENAME is the name of
+ the source file, and LINE-NUMBER is the line number within that
+ file (the first line is line 1).
+
+ If GDB prints some information about where the frame is from (which
+ library, which load segment, etc.; currently only done on the
+ RS/6000), it is annotated with
+
+ ^Z^Zframe-where
+ INFORMATION
+
+ Then, if source is to actually be displayed for this frame (for
+ example, this is not true for output from the `backtrace'
+ command), then a `source' annotation (*note Source Annotations::)
+ is displayed. Unlike most annotations, this is output instead of
+ the normal text which would be output, not in addition.

+
+7 Displays
+**********
+
+_Display Annotations have been removed. GDB/MI instead provides
+Variable Objects._
+
+ When GDB is told to display something using the `display' command,
+the results of the display are annotated:
+
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-begin
+ NUMBER
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-number-end
+ NUMBER-SEPARATOR
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-format
+ FORMAT
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-expression
+ EXPRESSION
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-expression-end
+ EXPRESSION-SEPARATOR
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-value
+ VALUE
+ ^Z^Zdisplay-end
+
+where NUMBER is the number of the display, NUMBER-SEPARATOR is intended
+to separate the number from what follows for the user, FORMAT includes
+information such as the size, format, or other information about how
+the value is being displayed, EXPRESSION is the expression being
+displayed, EXPRESSION-SEPARATOR is intended to separate the expression
+from the text that follows for the user, and VALUE is the actual value
+being displayed.
+
+
+File: annotate.info, Node: Prompting, Next: Errors, Prev: Displays, Up: Top
+
+8 Annotation for GDB Input
+**************************
+
+When GDB prompts for input, it annotates this fact so it is possible to
+know when to send output, when the output from a given command is over,
+etc.
+
+ Different kinds of input each have a different "input type". Each
+input type has three annotations: a `pre-' annotation, which denotes
+the beginning of any prompt which is being output, a plain annotation,
+which denotes the end of the prompt, and then a `post-' annotation
+which denotes the end of any echo which may (or may not) be associated
+with the input. For example, the `prompt' input type features the
+following annotations:
+
+ ^Z^Zpre-prompt
+ ^Z^Zprompt
+ ^Z^Zpost-prompt
+
+ The input types are
+
+`prompt'
+ When GDB is prompting for a command (the main GDB prompt).
+
+`commands'
+ When GDB prompts for a set of commands, like in the `commands'
+ command. The annotations are repeated for each command which is
+ input.
+
+`overload-choice'
+ When GDB wants the user to select between various overloaded
+ functions.
+
+`query'
+ When GDB wants the user to confirm a potentially dangerous
+ operation.
+
+`prompt-for-continue'
+ When GDB is asking the user to press return to continue. Note:
+ Don't expect this to work well; instead use `set height 0' to
+ disable prompting. This is because the counting of lines is buggy
+ in the presence of annotations.
+
+
+File: annotate.info, Node: Errors, Next: Breakpoint Info, Prev: Prompting, Up: Top
+
+9 Errors
+********
+
+ ^Z^Zquit
+
+ This annotation occurs right before GDB responds to an interrupt.
+
+ ^Z^Zerror
+
+ This annotation occurs right before GDB responds to an error.
+
+ Quit and error annotations indicate that any annotations which GDB
+was in the middle of may end abruptly. For example, if a
+`value-history-begin' annotation is followed by a `error', one cannot
+expect to receive the matching `value-history-end'. One cannot expect
+not to receive it either, however; an error annotation does not
+necessarily mean that GDB is immediately returning all the way to the
+top level.
+
+ A quit or error annotation may be preceded by
+
+ ^Z^Zerror-begin
+
+ Any output between that and the quit or error annotation is the error
+message.
+
+ Warning messages are not yet annotated.

+
+10 Information on Breakpoints
+*****************************
+
+_Breakpoint Annotations have been removed. GDB/MI instead provides
+breakpoint commands._
+
+ The output from the `info breakpoints' command is annotated as
+follows:
+
+ ^Z^Zbreakpoints-headers
+ HEADER-ENTRY
+ ^Z^Zbreakpoints-table
+
+where HEADER-ENTRY has the same syntax as an entry (see below) but
+instead of containing data, it contains strings which are intended to
+convey the meaning of each field to the user. This is followed by any
+number of entries. If a field does not apply for this entry, it is
+omitted. Fields may contain trailing whitespace. Each entry consists
+of:
+
+ ^Z^Zrecord
+ ^Z^Zfield 0
+ NUMBER
+ ^Z^Zfield 1
+ TYPE
+ ^Z^Zfield 2
+ DISPOSITION
+ ^Z^Zfield 3
+ ENABLE
+ ^Z^Zfield 4
+ ADDRESS
+ ^Z^Zfield 5
+ WHAT
+ ^Z^Zfield 6
+ FRAME
+ ^Z^Zfield 7
+ CONDITION
+ ^Z^Zfield 8
+ IGNORE-COUNT
+ ^Z^Zfield 9
+ COMMANDS
+
+ Note that ADDRESS is intended for user consumption--the syntax
+varies depending on the language.
+
+ The output ends with
+
+ ^Z^Zbreakpoints-table-end

+
+11 Invalidation Notices
+***********************
+
+The following annotations say that certain pieces of state may have
+changed.
+
+`^Z^Zframes-invalid'
+ The frames (for example, output from the `backtrace' command) may
+ have changed.
+
+`^Z^Zbreakpoints-invalid'
+ The breakpoints may have changed. For example, the user just
+ added or deleted a breakpoint.

+
+12 Running the Program
+**********************
+
+When the program starts executing due to a GDB command such as `step'
+or `continue',
+
+ ^Z^Zstarting
+
+ is output. When the program stops,
+
+ ^Z^Zstopped
+
+ is output. Before the `stopped' annotation, a variety of
+annotations describe how the program stopped.
+
+`^Z^Zexited EXIT-STATUS'
+ The program exited, and EXIT-STATUS is the exit status (zero for
+ successful exit, otherwise nonzero).
+
+`^Z^Zsignalled'
+ The program exited with a signal. After the `^Z^Zsignalled', the
+ annotation continues:
+
+ INTRO-TEXT
+ ^Z^Zsignal-name
+ NAME
+ ^Z^Zsignal-name-end
+ MIDDLE-TEXT
+ ^Z^Zsignal-string
+ STRING
+ ^Z^Zsignal-string-end
+ END-TEXT
+
+ where NAME is the name of the signal, such as `SIGILL' or
+ `SIGSEGV', and STRING is the explanation of the signal, such as
+ `Illegal Instruction' or `Segmentation fault'. INTRO-TEXT,
+ MIDDLE-TEXT, and END-TEXT are for the user's benefit and have no
+ particular format.
+
+`^Z^Zsignal'
+ The syntax of this annotation is just like `signalled', but GDB is
+ just saying that the program received the signal, not that it was
+ terminated with it.
+
+`^Z^Zbreakpoint NUMBER'
+ The program hit breakpoint number NUMBER.
+
+`^Z^Zwatchpoint NUMBER'
+ The program hit watchpoint number NUMBER.

+
+13 Displaying Source
+********************
+
+The following annotation is used instead of displaying source code:
+
+ ^Z^Zsource FILENAME:LINE:CHARACTER:MIDDLE:ADDR
+
+ where FILENAME is an absolute file name indicating which source
+file, LINE is the line number within that file (where 1 is the first
+line in the file), CHARACTER is the character position within the file
+(where 0 is the first character in the file) (for most debug formats
+this will necessarily point to the beginning of a line), MIDDLE is
+`middle' if ADDR is in the middle of the line, or `beg' if ADDR is at
+the beginning of the line, and ADDR is the address in the target
+program associated with the source which is being displayed. ADDR is
+in the form `0x' followed by one or more lowercase hex digits (note
+that this does not depend on the language).

+
+14 Multi-threaded Applications
+******************************
+
+The following annotations report thread related changes of state.
+
+`^Z^Znew-thread'
+ This annotation is issued once for each thread that is created
+ apart from the main thread, which is not reported.
+
+`^Z^Zthread-changed'
+ The selected thread has changed. This may occur at the request of
+ the user with the `thread' command, or as a result of execution,
+ e.g., another thread hits a breakpoint.

+ License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
+ Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
+ The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
+ does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
+
+ The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
+ listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
+ that says that the Document is released under this License. A
+ Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
+ be at most 25 words.
+
+ A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
+ represented in a format whose specification is available to the
+ general public, that is suitable for revising the document
+ straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
+ composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
+ widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
+ text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
+ formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
+ otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
+ markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
+ modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
+ not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
+ copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
+
+ Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
+ ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
+ SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
+ standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
+ human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
+ PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
+ can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
+ XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
+ available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
+ produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
+
+ The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+ plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
+ material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
+ works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
+ Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
+ work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
+
+ The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
+ of the Document to the public.
+
+ A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
+ whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
+ following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
+ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
+ "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
+ To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
+ Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
+ to this definition.
+
+ The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
+ which states that this License applies to the Document. These
+ Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
+ this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
+ implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
+ has no effect on the meaning of this License.
+
+ 2. VERBATIM COPYING
+
+ You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
+ commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
+ copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
+ applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
+ add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
+ may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
+ or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
+ you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
+ distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
+ the conditions in section 3.
+
+ You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
+ and you may publicly display copies.
+
+ 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
+
+ If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
+ have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
+ the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
+ enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
+ these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
+ Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
+ and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
+ front cover must present the full title with all words of the
+ title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
+ on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
+ covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
+ satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
+ other respects.
+
+ If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+ legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+ reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
+ adjacent pages.
+
+ If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
+ numbering more than 100, you must either include a
+ machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
+ state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
+ which the general network-using public has access to download
+ using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
+ copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
+ latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
+ begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
+ this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
+ location until at least one year after the last time you
+ distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
+ retailers) of that edition to the public.
+
+ It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
+ the Document well before redistributing any large number of
+ copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
+ version of the Document.
+
+ 4. MODIFICATIONS
+
+ You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
+ under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
+ release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
+ the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
+ licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
+ whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
+ things in the Modified Version:
+
+ A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
+ distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
+ previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
+ in the History section of the Document). You may use the
+ same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
+ that version gives permission.
+
+ B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
+ entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
+ the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
+ principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
+ authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
+ from this requirement.
+
+ C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
+ Modified Version, as the publisher.
+
+ D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
+
+ E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+ adjacent to the other copyright notices.
+
+ F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
+ notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
+ Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
+ the Addendum below.
+
+ G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
+ Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
+ license notice.
+
+ H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+
+ I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
+ and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
+ authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
+ the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in
+ the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
+ and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
+ then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
+ the previous sentence.
+
+ J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
+ for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
+ likewise the network locations given in the Document for
+ previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in
+ the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
+ work that was published at least four years before the
+ Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
+ it refers to gives permission.
+
+ K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
+ Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
+ section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
+ acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
+
+ L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
+ unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
+ or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
+ titles.
+
+ M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
+ may not be included in the Modified Version.
+
+ N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
+ "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
+ Section.
+
+ O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+ If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
+ appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
+ material copied from the Document, you may at your option
+ designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,
+ add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
+ Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
+ other section titles.
+
+ You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
+ nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
+ parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
+ has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
+ definition of a standard.
+
+ You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
+ and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
+ of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one
+ passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
+ added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
+ Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
+ previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
+ you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
+ replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
+ publisher that added the old one.
+
+ The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
+ License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
+ assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
+
+ 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may combine the Document with other documents released under
+ this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
+ modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
+ all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
+ unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
+ combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
+ their Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+ The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+ multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
+ copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
+ but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
+ by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
+ original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
+ unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
+ the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
+ combined work.
+
+ In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
+ "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
+ Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
+ "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
+ must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
+
+ 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
+ documents released under this License, and replace the individual
+ copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
+ that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
+ rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
+ documents in all other respects.
+
+ You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
+ distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
+ a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
+ this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
+ that document.
+
+ 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+
+ A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
+ separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
+ a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
+ copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
+ legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
+ works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
+ License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
+ are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
+
+ If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+ copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
+ of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
+ on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
+ electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
+ form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
+ the whole aggregate.
+
+ 8. TRANSLATION
+
+ Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+ distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
+ 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+ permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+ translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+ original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+ translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
+ Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
+ include the original English version of this License and the
+ original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
+ disagreement between the translation and the original version of
+ this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
+ prevail.
+
+ If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
+ "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
+ Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
+ actual title.
+
+ 9. TERMINATION
+
+ You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+ otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
+ and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+
+ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+ license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+ provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly
+ and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
+ copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
+ reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+ Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+ reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+ violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+ received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
+ that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
+ after your receipt of the notice.
+
+ Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
+ the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from
+ you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and
+ not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of
+ the same material does not give you any rights to use it.
+
+ 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
+ the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
+ versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+ differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
+ `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
+
+ Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
+ number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
+ version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
+ have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
+ that specified version or of any later version that has been
+ published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If
+ the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
+ you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
+ Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy
+ can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
+ proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
+ authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
+
+ 11. RELICENSING
+
+ "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
+ World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
+ provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
+ public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
+ A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
+ site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
+ site.
+
+ "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
+ license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
+ corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
+ California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
+ published by that same organization.
+
+ "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
+ in part, as part of another Document.
+
+ An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
+ License, and if all works that were first published under this
+ License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
+ incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
+ texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
+ to November 1, 2008.
+
+ The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
+ site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
+ 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
+
+
+ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
+====================================================
+
+To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
+the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
+notices just after the title page:
+
+ Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
+ Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
+ under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
+ or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
+ with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
+ Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
+ Free Documentation License''.
+
+ If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
+Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
+
+ with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
+ the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
+ being LIST.
+
+ If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
+combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
+situation.
+
+ If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
+free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
+permit their use in free software.
