Hello guys!

I've found the source codes for GDB.  I have certain questions regarding
ptrace().  I hope you can answer them. 
 
 1. What does "Attach/Detach to the process" mean?  (PT_ATTACH, PT_DETACH)>
 2. Does request PT_READ_I mean read the text segment?
 3. Does request PT_READ_D mean read the data segment?
 4. What's the last argument (int data) of ptrace() for?
