 19.1 Active Targets
 ===================
 
 There are multiple classes of targets such as: processes, executable
 files or recording sessions.  Core files belong to the process class,
 there can be active only one of a core or a running process.  Otherwise
 GDB can work concurrently on multiple active targets, one in each
 class.  This allows you to (for example) start a process and inspect
 its activity while still having access to the executable file after the
 Execution::) and `reverse-step' there you are presented a virtual layer
 of the recording target while the process target remains stopped at the
 chronologically last point of the process execution.
 
    Use the `core-file' and `exec-file' commands to select a new core
 file or executable target ( Commands to Specify Files Files.).  To
 specify as a target a process that is already running, use the `attach'
 command ( Debugging an Already-running Process Attach.).
