+
+<p>In order to display the branch trace of an inferior thread,
+<small>GDB</small> needs to obtain the list of branches. This list is
+represented as list of sequential code blocks that are connected via
+branches. The code in each block has been executed sequentially.
+</p>
+<p>This list is obtained using the &lsquo;<samp>qXfer:btrace:read</samp>&rsquo;
+(see <a href="General-Query-Packets.html#qXfer-btrace-read">qXfer btrace read</a>) packet and is an XML document.
+</p>
+<p><small>GDB</small> must be linked with the Expat library to support XML
+traceframe info discovery. See <a href="Requirements.html#Expat">Expat</a>.
+</p>
+<p>The top-level structure of the document is shown below:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
