Without the need of starting gdb first and then attach to an existing process. Is there a one shot gdb command line option to do this?

You can do that by using the below command
$ gdb <executable_file> -p <pid>
It will attach the gdb to process pid which is created after executing the executable_file.
In some situations <executable_file> can be omitted from the command line, in which case gdb will locate the executable file on its own, and read its symbols.
