<p><a name="index-thread-list-format-2533"></a>
To efficiently update the list of threads and their attributes,
<span class="sc">gdb</span> issues the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">qXfer:threads:read</span></samp>&rsquo; packet
(see <a href="qXfer-threads-read.html#qXfer-threads-read">qXfer threads read</a>) and obtains the XML document with
the following structure:
<pre class="smallexample"> &lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;threads&gt;
&lt;thread id="id" core="0"&gt;
... description ...
&lt;/thread&gt;
&lt;/threads&gt;
</pre>
<p>Each &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">thread</span></samp>&rsquo; element must have the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">id</span></samp>&rsquo; attribute that
identifies the thread (see <a href="thread_002did-syntax.html#thread_002did-syntax">thread-id syntax</a>). The
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">core</span></samp>&rsquo; attribute, if present, specifies which processor core
the thread was last executing on. The content of the of &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">thread</span></samp>&rsquo;
element is interpreted as human-readable auxilliary information.
