-Sometimes it may already be helpful to capture a translator's `stdout` and
-`stderr`, for example in this situation where [[translator/pfinet]] was
-silently dying all the time, without any console output:
-
- $ sudo settrans -fgap ↩
- /servers/socket/2 ↩
- /bin/sh -c '/hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a [...] > /tmp/stdout 2> /tmp/stderr'
- $ [...]
- $ cat /tmp/stdout
- NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
- IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP
- TCP: Hash tables configured (ehash 65536 bhash 65536)
- $ cat /tmp/stderr
- pfinet: ../../hurd.work/pfinet/ethernet.c:196: ethernet_xmit: Unexpected error: (os/device) invalid IO size.
-
-(Trying to run [[GDB]] in this case was of no help -- due to a bug in GDB
-(supposedly) it wouldn't catch the fault.)
-
-Be made aware that both `stdout` and `stderr` will be block bufferend and no
-longer line buffered when doing such a redirection, so you'll have to arrange
-for appropriate `fflush`es on these, or force them to be line buffered again
-using the appropriate glibc magic (`setvbuf`). Otherwise you'll see text in
-the output files only if either glibc herself decides to flush (after some KiB
-of text) the after translator exits.
-
-There is also a [[related open issue|open_issues/translator_stdout_stderr]].

-Say you want to try running file system server ([[`ext2fs`|translator/ext2fs]],
-[[`jfs`|translator/jfs]], ...) against a modified version of
-[[`libpager`|libpager]] and debug the latter one using [[debugging/GDB]].
-
-Set the [[hurd/translator]] like this:
-
- $ settrans -fgap ↩
- jfs.img.i ↩
- /usr/bin/env ↩
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~tschwinge/tmp/hurd/hurd.ogi/build/libpager ↩
- "$PWD"/jfs.obj/jfs ↩
- "$PWD"/jfs.img
-
-Then, when starting GDB, start it like this (or use an equivalent method, of
-course):
-
- $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~tschwinge/tmp/hurd/hurd.ogi/build/libpager ↩
- gdb ↩
- ~tschwinge/tmp/jfs/jfs.obj/jfs 15436
