That's not a very specific question, but there is a good introduction
in doc/gdbint.texi in the GDB distribution.
Also see:
  breakpoint.c in GDB
  "man ptrace" and/or "man proc" depending on your OS

If the documentation you want doesn't exist, you might consider
tracking down information and writing documentation (and publishing it
via http://www.oswg.org/ or something) - that can be a good way to learn.
