block output of debugged program (gdb)

Question

I have a program and want to debug it in gdb. Will I see usual program output? How can I enable/disable this output, leaving only gdb messages.

Accepted Answer

You can redirect output from within gdb:

```
(gdb) run > somefile.txt
```

will redirect standard output to somefile.txt. You can also specify a terminal to send output to:

```
(gdb) tty /dev/ttyb
```
