GDB C API -- does such a thing exist?

[Ömer Sinan Ağacan]

Do we have a C API for GDB? Something that allows me to run all the
GDB commands/functions that I can run in GDB prompt, but without
messing with GDB prompt?

Python API is not great for what I want to do. I want to run GDB
inside a program, search for some specific currently-running
processes, attach to them, add some breakpoints etc. although all of
those are possible with Python API, 1) I'm not huge fan of the
language 2) I feel like most things would be a lot easier if I could
use a C API that allows me to drive GDB itself.

Thanks.
