SYNOPSIS

       /etc/gdb/gdbinit

       /etc/gdb/gdbinit.d/*

       ~/.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".

       /etc/gdb/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'".

       /etc/gdb/gdbinit.d
           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.
