+
+<a name="index-redirection"></a>
+<a name="index-i_002fo"></a>
+<a name="index-terminal"></a>
+<p>By default, the program you run under <small>GDB</small> does input and output to
+the same terminal that <small>GDB</small> uses. <small>GDB</small> switches the terminal
+to its own terminal modes to interact with you, but it records the terminal
+modes your program was using and switches back to them when you continue
+running your program.
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dd><a name="index-info-terminal"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>info terminal</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Displays information recorded by <small>GDB</small> about the terminal modes your
+program is using.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>You can redirect your program&rsquo;s input and/or output using shell
+redirection with the <code>run</code> command. For example,
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">run &gt; outfile
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>starts your program, diverting its output to the file <samp>outfile</samp>.
+</p>
+<a name="index-tty"></a>
+<a name="index-controlling-terminal"></a>
+<p>Another way to specify where your program should do input and output is
+with the <code>tty</code> command. This command accepts a file name as
+argument, and causes this file to be the default for future <code>run</code>
+commands. It also resets the controlling terminal for the child
+process, for future <code>run</code> commands. For example,
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">tty /dev/ttyb
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>directs that processes started with subsequent <code>run</code> commands
+default to do input and output on the terminal <samp>/dev/ttyb</samp> and have
+that as their controlling terminal.
+</p>
+<p>An explicit redirection in <code>run</code> overrides the <code>tty</code> command&rsquo;s
+effect on the input/output device, but not its effect on the controlling
+terminal.
+</p>
+<p>When you use the <code>tty</code> command or redirect input in the <code>run</code>
+command, only the input <em>for your program</em> is affected. The input
+for <small>GDB</small> still comes from your terminal. <code>tty</code> is an alias
+for <code>set inferior-tty</code>.
+</p>
+<a name="index-inferior-tty"></a>
+<a name="index-set-inferior-controlling-terminal"></a>
+<p>You can use the <code>show inferior-tty</code> command to tell <small>GDB</small> to
+display the name of the terminal that will be used for future runs of your
+program.
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>set inferior-tty [ <var>tty</var> ]</code></dt>
+<dd><a name="index-set-inferior_002dtty"></a>
+<p>Set the tty for the program being debugged to <var>tty</var>. Omitting <var>tty</var>
+restores the default behavior, which is to use the same terminal as
+<small>GDB</small>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>show inferior-tty</code></dt>
+<dd><a name="index-show-inferior_002dtty"></a>
+<p>Show the current tty for the program being debugged.
+</p></dd>
