GDBINIT(5)						       GNU Development Tools							GDBINIT(5)

NAME

       gdbinit - GDB initialization scripts

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/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".

       /etc/gdbinit
	   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.

NAME

       gdb-add-index - Add index files to speed up GDB

SYNOPSIS

       gdb-add-index filename

DESCRIPTION

       When GDB finds a symbol file, it scans the symbols in the file in order to construct an internal symbol table.  This lets most GDB
       operations work quickly--at the cost of a delay early on.  For large programs, this delay can be quite lengthy, so GDB provides a way to
       build an index, which speeds up startup.

       To determine whether a file contains such an index, use the command readelf -S filename: the index is stored in a section named
       ".gdb_index".  Note that the index is never generated for files that do not contain DWARF debug information (sections named ".debug_*").

       See more in the GDB manual in node "Index Files" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n 'Index Files'".
