Seeking into a specific function in gdb

Question

While doing reverse engineering i always need to seek into specific functions. I used to work with radare2 with the command s <function_name>, which set a breakpoint on the first instruction of function_name.

Is there a similar method in gdb?

Answer 1

Is there a similar method in gdb?

Yes: break *function_name.

From (gdb) help break:

Address locations begin with "*" and specify an exact address in the
program.  Example: To specify the fourth byte past the start function
"main", use "*main + 4".
