tmux-setup
Command tmux-setup
In the purpose of always making debugging sessions easier while being more
effective, GEF
integrates two commands:
tmux-setup
screen-setup
Those commands will check whether GDB is being spawn from inside a tmux
(resp. screen
) session, and if so, will split the pane vertically, and
configure the context to be redirected to the new pane, looking something like:
To set it up, simply enter
gef⤠tmux-setup
Note: Although screen-setup
provides a similar setup, the structure of
screen
does not allow a very clean way to do this. Therefore, if possible, it
would be recommended to use the tmux-setup
command instead.
Possible color issues with tmux
On Linux tmux only supports 8 colors with some terminal capabilities ($TERM
environment variable). This can mess up your color themes when using GEF with
tmux. To remedy this if your terminal supports more colors you can either set
the variable to something like TERM=screen-256color
or if you don't want or
can't change that variable you can start tmux
with the -2
flag to force
tmux to use 256 colors.
