C / C ++ Linux GDB API

I want to make a small version of the GDB graphical command-line program on Linux to make it easier to debug small C programs. There are already some features in the IDE, but I want to do it for fun and get a better known GDB value.

Now I wanted to know if the GDB API had it so that I could directly access the GDB commands from the code, and I did not need to do a crawl through the terminal, for example, using popen .

If such an API does not exist from GDB , then what is the easiest way to start hidden GDBs and send commands to it, extract exits from it?

Many IDEs, such as Eclipse and KDevelop, use GDB MI (machine interface). This is a linear oriented text interface for GDB. See the full list here: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB%20Front%20Ends .

Check out these links to get started with GDB MI:
