gdb: Other Misc Settings
22.11 Other Miscellaneous Settings
==================================
'set interactive-mode'
If 'on', forces GDB to assume that GDB was started in a terminal.
In practice, this means that GDB should wait for the user to answer
queries generated by commands entered at the command prompt. If
'off', forces GDB to operate in the opposite mode, and it uses the
default answers to all queries. If 'auto' (the default), GDB tries
to determine whether its standard input is a terminal, and works in
interactive-mode if it is, non-interactively otherwise.
In the vast majority of cases, the debugger should be able to guess
correctly which mode should be used. But this setting can be
useful in certain specific cases, such as running a MinGW GDB
inside a cygwin window.
'show interactive-mode'
Displays whether the debugger is operating in interactive mode or
not.
