gdb: Debug an executable.

$ gdb ${executable}

try on your machine

This command is used to start the GNU Debugger (GDB) and load the specified executable file for debugging. Here is a breakdown of the command:

gdb: It is the command to launch the GNU Debugger.
${executable}: It is a placeholder for the name of the executable file that you want to debug. You need to replace ${executable} with the actual name of your executable file. For example, if your executable file is named "my_program", the command would be gdb my_program.

When you run this command, GDB will start and load the specified executable file, allowing you to debug and analyze its behavior.
