    (gdb) help detach
    Detach a process or file previously attached.
    If a process, it is no longer traced, and it continues its execution.  If
    you were debugging a file, the file is closed and gdb no longer accesses it.
    
    List of detach subcommands:
    
    detach checkpoint -- Detach from a checkpoint (experimental)
    detach inferiors -- Detach from inferior ID (or list of IDS)
    
    Type "help detach" followed by detach subcommand name for full documentation.
    Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word".
    Command name abbreviations are allowed if unambiguous.
