Gdbserver from inetd?

Guys:


I see in the archives some occasional comments about running
gdbserver 
from inetd.

I would REALLY love to be able to do that!  Is it supported
by the 
current gdbserver?  If so, how do I take advantage of it?

If not, is it really just a matter of hooking gdbserver to
stdio instead 
of the existing options?  (Seems too easy to be true).


b.g.

No.

Maybe.  I haven't written an inetd-capable application in a
decade.
You might have trouble finding something to do with the
debugee's output.
