+<h4 class="subsection">20.5.1 What the Stub Can Do for You</h4>
+
+<a name="index-remote-serial-stub"></a>
+<p>The debugging stub for your architecture supplies these three
+subroutines:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>set_debug_traps</code></dt>
+<dd><a name="index-set_005fdebug_005ftraps"></a>
+<a name="index-remote-serial-stub_002c-initialization"></a>
+<p>This routine arranges for <code>handle_exception</code> to run when your
+program stops. You must call this subroutine explicitly in your
+program&rsquo;s startup code.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>handle_exception</code></dt>
+<dd><a name="index-handle_005fexception"></a>
+<a name="index-remote-serial-stub_002c-main-routine"></a>
+<p>This is the central workhorse, but your program never calls it
+explicitly&mdash;the setup code arranges for <code>handle_exception</code> to
+run when a trap is triggered.
+</p>
+<p><code>handle_exception</code> takes control when your program stops during
+execution (for example, on a breakpoint), and mediates communications
+with <small>GDB</small> on the host machine. This is where the communications
+protocol is implemented; <code>handle_exception</code> acts as the <small>GDB</small>
+representative on the target machine. It begins by sending summary
+information on the state of your program, then continues to execute,
+retrieving and transmitting any information <small>GDB</small> needs, until you
+execute a <small>GDB</small> command that makes your program resume; at that point,
+<code>handle_exception</code> returns control to your own code on the target
+machine.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>breakpoint</code></dt>
+<dd><a name="index-breakpoint-subroutine_002c-remote"></a>
+<p>Use this auxiliary subroutine to make your program contain a
+breakpoint. Depending on the particular situation, this may be the only
+way for <small>GDB</small> to get control. For instance, if your target
+machine has some sort of interrupt button, you won&rsquo;t need to call this;
+pressing the interrupt button transfers control to
+<code>handle_exception</code>&mdash;in effect, to <small>GDB</small>. On some machines,
+simply receiving characters on the serial port may also trigger a trap;
+again, in that situation, you don&rsquo;t need to call <code>breakpoint</code> from
+your own program&mdash;simply running &lsquo;<samp>target remote</samp>&rsquo; from the host
+<small>GDB</small> session gets control.
+</p>
+<p>Call <code>breakpoint</code> if none of these is true, or if you simply want
+to make certain your program stops at a predetermined point for the
+start of your debugging session.
+</p></dd>
