gdb: GDB/MI Program Context
27.10 GDB/MI Program Context
============================
The '-exec-arguments' Command
-----------------------------
Synopsis
........
-exec-arguments ARGS
Set the inferior program arguments, to be used in the next
'-exec-run'.
GDB Command
...........
The corresponding GDB command is 'set args'.
Example
.......
(gdb)
-exec-arguments -v word
^done
(gdb)
The '-environment-cd' Command
-----------------------------
Synopsis
........
-environment-cd PATHDIR
Set GDB's working directory.
GDB Command
...........
The corresponding GDB command is 'cd'.
Example
.......
(gdb)
-environment-cd /kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/flathead-dev/devo/gdb
^done
(gdb)
The '-environment-directory' Command
------------------------------------
Synopsis
........
-environment-directory [ -r ] [ PATHDIR ]+
Add directories PATHDIR to beginning of search path for source files.
If the '-r' option is used, the search path is reset to the default
search path. If directories PATHDIR are supplied in addition to the
'-r' option, the search path is first reset and then addition occurs as
normal. Multiple directories may be specified, separated by blanks.
Specifying multiple directories in a single command results in the
directories added to the beginning of the search path in the same order
they were presented in the command. If blanks are needed as part of a
directory name, double-quotes should be used around the name. In the
command output, the path will show up separated by the system
directory-separator character. The directory-separator character must
not be used in any directory name. If no directories are specified, the
current search path is displayed.
GDB Command
...........
The corresponding GDB command is 'dir'.
Example
.......
(gdb)
-environment-directory /kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/flathead-dev/devo/gdb
^done,source-path="/kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/flathead-dev/devo/gdb:$cdir:$cwd"
(gdb)
-environment-directory ""
^done,source-path="/kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/flathead-dev/devo/gdb:$cdir:$cwd"
(gdb)
-environment-directory -r /home/jjohnstn/src/gdb /usr/src
^done,source-path="/home/jjohnstn/src/gdb:/usr/src:$cdir:$cwd"
(gdb)
-environment-directory -r
^done,source-path="$cdir:$cwd"
(gdb)
The '-environment-path' Command
-------------------------------
Synopsis
........
-environment-path [ -r ] [ PATHDIR ]+
Add directories PATHDIR to beginning of search path for object files.
If the '-r' option is used, the search path is reset to the original
search path that existed at gdb start-up. If directories PATHDIR are
supplied in addition to the '-r' option, the search path is first reset
and then addition occurs as normal. Multiple directories may be
specified, separated by blanks. Specifying multiple directories in a
single command results in the directories added to the beginning of the
search path in the same order they were presented in the command. If
blanks are needed as part of a directory name, double-quotes should be
used around the name. In the command output, the path will show up
separated by the system directory-separator character. The
directory-separator character must not be used in any directory name.
If no directories are specified, the current path is displayed.
GDB Command

-environment-path /kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/flathead-dev/ppc-eabi/gdb /bin
^done,path="/kwikemart/marge/ezannoni/flathead-dev/ppc-eabi/gdb:/bin:/usr/bin"
