Gdb - How does GDB work?
Answer
Ptrace, an abbreviation for "process trace," is the system call that GDB uses to function. A process's memory and registers may be inspected and modified by GDB, and it can also control and monitor the execution of the process. To insert a breakpoint into code, one must replace an existing instruction at a certain memory location with a new, distinct instruction.
