       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
