gdb: Python API

 
 23.2.2 Python API
 -----------------
 
 You can get quick online help for GDB's Python API by issuing the
 command 'python help (gdb)'.
 
    Functions and methods which have two or more optional arguments allow
 them to be specified using keyword syntax.  This allows passing some
 optional arguments while skipping others.  Example:
 'gdb.some_function ('foo', bar = 1, baz = 2)'.
