## NAME
       gdbinit - GDB initialization scripts

## 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'".

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

       _._._g_g_d_d_b_b_i_i_n_n_i_i_t_t
           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'".
