As before, script did most of the work, hand edits after that.
There's a lot more we can do dedupe this and the packets doc, this will come in
a follow up PR.

-Here is a brief overview of the packets that an lldb platform server
-needs to implement for the lldb testsuite to be run on a remote
-target device/system.
-
-These are almost all lldb extensions to the gdb-remote serial
-protocol. Many of the vFile: packets are described to the "Host
-I/O Packets" detailed in the gdb-remote protocol documentation,
-although the lldb platform extensions include packets that are not
-defined there (vFile:size:, vFile:mode:, vFile:symlink, vFile:chmod:).
-Most importantly, the flags that lldb passes to vFile:open: are
-incompatible with the flags that gdb specifies.

-//
-// The request packet has a criteria to search for, followed by
-// a specific name.
-//
-// KEY VALUE DESCRIPTION
-// =========== ======== ================================================
-// "name" ascii-hex An ASCII hex string that contains the name of
-// the process that will be matched.
-// "name_match" enum One of: "equals", "starts_with", "ends_with",
-// "contains" or "regex"
-// "pid" integer A string value containing the decimal process ID
-// "parent_pid" integer A string value containing the decimal parent
-// process ID
-// "uid" integer A string value containing the decimal user ID
-// "gid" integer A string value containing the decimal group ID
-// "euid" integer A string value containing the decimal effective
user ID
-// "egid" integer A string value containing the decimal effective
group ID
-// "all_users" bool A boolean value that specifies if processes should
-// be listed for all users, not just the user that
the
-// platform is running as
-// "triple" ascii-hex An ASCII hex target triple string ("x86_64",
-// "x86_64-apple-macosx", "armv7-apple-ios")
-//
-// If no criteria is given, qfProcessInfo will request a list of every
process.
-//
-// The lldb testsuite currently only uses name_match:equals and the
-// no-criteria mode to list every process.
-//
-// The response should include any information about the process that
-// can be retrieved in semicolon-separated name:value fields.
-// In this example, pid is base 10, name is ascii-hex encoded.
-// The testsuite seems to only require these two.
-//
-// This packet only responds with one process. To get further matches to
-// the search, qsProcessInfo should be sent.
-//
-// If no process match is found, Exx should be returned.
-//
-// Sample packet/response:
-// send packet: $qfProcessInfo#00
-// read packet:
$pid:60001;ppid:59948;uid:7746;gid:11;euid:7746;egid:11;name:6c6c6462;triple:7838365f36342d6170706c652d6d61636f7378;#00

-
-//----------------------------------------------------------------------
-// qsProcessInfo
-//
-// BRIEF
-// Return the next process info found by the most recent qfProcessInfo:
-// packet.
-//
-// EXAMPLE
-//
-// Continues to return the results of the qfProcessInfo. Once all matches
-// have been sent, Exx is returned to indicate end of matches.

-// qPathComplete
-//

-//
-// If the first argument is zero, the result should contain all
-// files (including directories) starting with the given path. If the

+# LLDB Platform Packets
+Here is a brief overview of the packets that an lldb platform server
+needs to implement for the lldb testsuite to be run on a remote
+target device/system.
+
+These are almost all lldb extensions to the gdb-remote serial
+protocol. Many of the `vFile:` packets are also described in the "Host
+I/O Packets" detailed in the gdb-remote protocol documentation,
+although the lldb platform extensions include packets that are not
+defined there (`vFile:size:`, `vFile:mode:`, `vFile:symlink`, `vFile:chmod:`).
+
+Most importantly, the flags that lldb passes to `vFile:open:` are
+incompatible with the flags that gdb specifies.
+
+## QStartNoAckMode
+
+### Brief
+
+A request to stop sending ACK packets for each properly formatted packet.
+
+### Example
+
+A platform session will typically start like this:
+```
+receive: +$QStartNoAckMode#b0
+send: + <-- ACKing the properly formatted QStartNoAckMode packet
+send: $OK#9a
+receive: + <-- Our OK packet getting ACKed
+```
+
+ACK mode is now disabled.
+
+## qHostInfo
+
+### Brief
+
+Describe the hardware and OS of the target system
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qHostInfo
+send:
cputype:16777228;cpusubtype:1;ostype:ios;watchpoint_exceptions_received:before;os_version:12.1;vendor:apple;default_packet_timeout:5;
+```
+
+All numbers are base 10, `os_version` is a string that will be parsed as
major.minor.patch.
+
+## qModuleInfo
+
+### Brief
+
+Get information for a module by given module path and architecture.
+
+The response is:
+* `(uuid|md5):...;triple:...;file_offset:...;file_size...;` or
+* `EXX` - for any errors
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qModuleInfo:2f62696e2f6c73;
+```
+
+## qGetWorkingDir
+
+### Brief
+
+Get the current working directory of the platform stub in
+ASCII hex encoding.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qGetWorkingDir
+send:
2f4170706c65496e7465726e616c2f6c6c64622f73657474696e67732f342f5465737453657474696e67732e746573745f646973617373656d626c65725f73657474696e6773
+```
+
+## QSetWorkingDir
+
+### Brief
+
+Set the current working directory of the platform stub in
+ASCII hex encoding.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive:
QSetWorkingDir:2f4170706c65496e7465726e616c2f6c6c64622f73657474696e67732f342f5465737453657474696e67732e746573745f646973617373656d626c65725f73657474696e6773
+send: OK
+```
+
+## qPlatform_mkdir
+
+### Brief
+
+Create a directory on the target system.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qPlatform_mkdir:000001fd,2f746d702f6131
+send: F0
+```
+
+request packet has the fields:
+ 1. mode bits in base 16
+ 2. file path in ascii-hex encoding
+
+response is F followed by the return value of the `mkdir()` call,
+base 16 encoded.
+
+## qPlatform_shell
+
+### Brief
+
+Run a shell command on the target system, return the output.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qPlatform_shell:6c73202f746d702f,0000000a
+send: F,0,0,<OUTPUT>
+```
+
+request packet has the fields:
+ 1. shell command ascii-hex encoded
+ 2. timeout
+ 3. working directory ascii-hex encoded (optional)
+
+Response is `F` followed by the return value of the command (base 16),
+followed by another number, followed by the output of the command
+in binary-escaped-data encoding.
+
+## qLaunchGDBServer
+
+### Brief
+
+Start a gdbserver process (`gdbserver`, `debugserver`, `lldb-server`)
+on the target system.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qLaunchGDBServer;host:<HOSTNAME_LLDB_IS_ON>;
+send: pid:1337;port:43001;
+```
+
+Request packet hostname field is not ascii-hex encoded. Hostnames
+don't have `$` or `#` characters in them.
+
+Response to the packet is the pid of the newly launched gdbserver,
+and the port it is listening for a connection on.
+
+When the testsuite is running, lldb may use the pid to kill off a
+debugserver that doesn't seem to be responding, etc.
+
+## qKillSpawnedProcess
+
+### Brief
+
+Kill a process running on the target system.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qKillSpawnedProcess:1337
+send: OK
+```
+The request packet has the process ID in base 10.
+
+## qProcessInfoPID:
+
+### Brief
+
+Gather information about a process running on the target
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qProcessInfoPID:71964
+send: pid:71964;name:612e6f7574;
+```
+
+The request packet has the pid encoded in base 10.
+
+The reply has semicolon-separated `name:value` fields, two are
+shown here. `pid` is base 10 encoded. `name` is ascii hex encoded.
+lldb-server can reply with many additional fields, but this is probably
+enough for the testsuite.
+
+## qfProcessInfo
+
+### Brief
+
+Search the process table for processes matching criteria,
+respond with them in multiple packets.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive:
qfProcessInfo:name_match:equals;name:6e6f70726f6365737365786973747377697468746869736e616d65;
+send: pid:3500;name:612e6f7574;
+```
+
+The request packet has a criteria to search for, followed by
+a specific name.
+
+| Key | Value | Description
+| ------------ | --------- | -----------
+| `name` | ascii-hex | An ASCII hex string that contains the name of the
process that will be matched.
+| `name_match` | enum | One of: `equals`, `starts_with`, `ends_with`,
`contains` or `regex`
+| `pid` | integer | A string value containing the decimal process ID
+| `parent_pid` | integer | A string value containing the decimal parent
process ID
+| `uid` | integer | A string value containing the decimal user ID
+| `gid` | integer | A string value containing the decimal group ID
+| `euid` | integer | A string value containing the decimal effective
user ID
+| `egid` | integer | A string value containing the decimal effective
group ID
+| `all_users` | bool | A boolean value that specifies if processes
should be listed for all users, not just the user that the platform is running
as
+| `triple` | ascii-hex | An ASCII hex target triple string (`x86_64`,
`x86_64-apple-macosx`, `armv7-apple-ios`)
+
+If no criteria is given, `qfProcessInfo` will request a list of every process.
+
+The lldb testsuite currently only uses `name_match:equals` and the
+no-criteria mode to list every process.
+
+The response should include any information about the process that
+can be retrieved in semicolon-separated `name:value` fields.
+In this example, `pid` is base 10, `name` is ascii-hex encoded.
+The testsuite seems to only require these two.
+
+This packet only responds with one process. To get further matches to
+the search, `qsProcessInfo` should be sent.
+
+If no process match is found, `Exx` should be returned.
+
+Sample packet/response:
+```
+send packet: $qfProcessInfo#00
+read packet:
$pid:60001;ppid:59948;uid:7746;gid:11;euid:7746;egid:11;name:6c6c6462;triple:7838365f36342d6170706c652d6d61636f7378;#00
+send packet: $qsProcessInfo#00
+read packet:
$pid:59992;ppid:192;uid:7746;gid:11;euid:7746;egid:11;name:6d64776f726b6572;triple:7838365f36342d6170706c652d6d61636f7378;#00
+send packet: $qsProcessInfo#00
+read packet: $E04#00
+```
+
+## qsProcessInfo
+
+### Brief
+
+Return the next process info found by the most recent `qfProcessInfo:`
+packet.
+
+### Example
+
+Continues to return the results of the `qfProcessInfo`. Once all matches
+have been sent, `Exx` is returned to indicate end of matches.
+
+## qPathComplete
+
+### Brief
+
+Get a list of matched disk files/directories by passing a boolean flag
+and a partial path.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: qPathComplete:0,6d61696e
+send: M6d61696e2e637070
+receive: qPathComplete:1,746573
+send: M746573742f,74657374732f
+```
+
+If the first argument is zero, the result should contain all
+files (including directories) starting with the given path. If the
+argument is one, the result should contain only directories.
+
+The result should be a comma-separated list of hex-encoded paths.
+Paths denoting a directory should end with a directory separator (`/` or `\`.
+
+## vFile:size
+
+### Brief
+
+Get the size of a file on the target system, filename in ASCII hex.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: vFile:size:2f746d702f61
+send: Fc008
+```
+
+response is `F` followed by the file size in base 16.
+`F-1,errno` with the errno if an error occurs, base 16.
+
+## vFile:mode
+
+### Brief
+
+Get the mode bits of a file on the target system, filename in ASCII hex.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: vFile:mode:2f746d702f61
+send: F1ed
+```
+
+response is `F` followed by the mode bits in base 16, this `0x1ed` would
+correspond to `0755` in octal.
+`F-1,errno` with the errno if an error occurs, base 16.
+
+## vFile:unlink
+
+### Brief
+
+Remove a file on the target system.

+
+Argument is a file path in ascii-hex encoding.
+Response is `F` plus the return value of `unlink()`, base 16 encoding.
+Return value may optionally be followed by a comma and the base16
+value of errno if unlink failed.
+
+## vFile:symlink
+
+### Brief
+
+Create a symbolic link (symlink, soft-link) on the target system.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+receive: vFile:symlink:<SRC-FILE>,<DST-NAME>
+send: F0,0
+```
+
+Argument file paths are in ascii-hex encoding.
+Response is `F` plus the return value of `symlink()`, base 16 encoding,
+optionally followed by the value of errno if it failed, also base 16.
+
+## vFile:chmod / qPlatform_chmod
+
+### Brief
+
+Change the permission mode bits on a file on the target
+
+### Example

+```
+
+Arguments are the mode bits to set, base 16, and a file path in
+ascii-hex encoding.
+Response is `F` plus the return value of `chmod()`, base 16 encoding.
+
+These 2 packets do the same thing, it is not known why we ended up with 2.
+
+## vFile:chmod
+
+### Brief
+
+Change the permission mode bits on a file on the target.
+
+### Example

+
+## Launching Processes
+
+Finally, the platform must be able to launch processes so that debugserver
