NAME

       gdbinit - GDB initialization scripts


SYNOPSIS

       ~/.config/gdb/gdbinit

       ~/.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'".

       (not enabled with "--with-system-gdbinit-dir" during compilation)
           System-wide initialization directory.  All files in this directory
           are executed on startup unless user specified GDB option "-nx" or
           "-n", as long as they have a recognized file extension.  See more
           in the GDB manual in node "System-wide configuration" -- shell
           command "info -f gdb -n 'System-wide configuration'".

       ~/.config/gdb/gdbinit or ~/.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.
