3 Using and understanding the Valgrind core

The information should be sufficient for you to make effective day-to-day use of Valgrind. Advanced topics related to the Valgrind core are described in the next chapter.

A point of terminology: most references to “Valgrind” in this chapter refer to the Valgrind core services.
