 18.7 GDB Data Files
 ===================
 
 GDB will sometimes read an auxiliary data file.  These files are kept in
 a directory known as the "data directory".
 
    You can set the data directory's name, and view the name GDB is
 currently using.
 
 'set data-directory DIRECTORY'
      Set the directory which GDB searches for auxiliary data files to
      DIRECTORY.
 
 'show data-directory'
      Show the directory GDB searches for auxiliary data files.
 
    You can set the default data directory by using the configure-time
 '--with-gdb-datadir' option.  If the data directory is inside GDB's
 configured binary prefix (set with '--prefix' or '--exec-prefix'), then
 the default data directory will be updated automatically if the
 installed GDB is moved to a new location.
 
    The data directory may also be specified with the '--data-directory'
 command line option.  Mode Options.
