`b' cannot be used because these format letters are also used with the x command, where `b' stands for "byte"; see Examining memory.

If you choose a port number that conflicts with another service, gdbserver prints an error message and exits.

(6)

On DOS/Windows systems, the home directory is the one pointed to by the HOME environment variable.
