+Sometimes you need to create an empty target that will get filled in later.
The most common use for this
+is to attach to a process by name or pid where you don't know the executable
up front. The most convenient way
+to do this is:
+
+target = debugger.CreateTarget('')
+error = lldb.SBError()
+process = target.AttachToProcessWithName(debugger.GetListener(),
'PROCESS_NAME', False, error)
+
+or the equivalent arguments for AttachToProcessWithID.
