NAME

     gdbinit - GDB initialization scripts

SYNOPSIS

     ~/.gdbinit

     ./.gdbinit

DESCRIPTION

     These files contain GDB commands  to  automatically  execute
     during  GDB  startup.   The  lines  of  contents  are canned
     sequences of commands, described in the GDB manual  in  node
     "Sequences" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n Sequences".

     Please read more in the GDB  manual  in  node  "Startup"  --
     shell command "info -f gdb -n Startup".

     (not enabled with "--with-system-gdbinit" during compilation)
         System-wide  initialization file.  It is executed unless
         user specified GDB option "-nx" or "-n".   See  more  in
         the  GDB  manual  in node "System-wide configuration" --
         shell   command   "info   -f   gdb    -n    'System-wide
         configuration'".

     ~/.gdbinit
         User initialization file.  It is  executed  unless  user
         specified GDB options "-nx", "-n" or "-nh".

     ./.gdbinit
         Initialization file for current directory.  It may  need
         to  be  enabled with GDB security command "set auto-load
         local-gdbinit".  See more in  the  GDB  manual  in  node
         "Init  File  in  the Current Directory" -- shell command
         "info -f gdb -n 'Init File in the Current Directory'".

     The full documentation for GDB is maintained  as  a  Texinfo
     manual.   If the "info" and "gdb" programs and GDB's Texinfo
     documentation are  properly  installed  at  your  site,  the
     command

             info gdb

     should give you access to the complete manual.
