GNU Info (gdb.info)PromptingAnnotation for GDB Input ======================== When GDB prompts for input, it annotates this fact so it is possible to know when to send output, when the output from a given command is over, etc. Different kinds of input each have a different "input type". Each input type has three annotations: a `pre-' annotation, which denotes the beginning of any prompt which is being output, a plain annotation, which denotes the end of the prompt, and then a `post-' annotation which denotes the end of any echo which may (or may not) be associated with the input. For example, the `prompt' input type features the following annotations: ^Z^Zpre-prompt ^Z^Zprompt ^Z^Zpost-prompt The input types are `prompt' When GDB is prompting for a command (the main GDB prompt). `commands' When GDB prompts for a set of commands, like in the `commands' command. The annotations are repeated for each command which is input. `overload-choice' When GDB wants the user to select between various overloaded functions. `query' When GDB wants the user to confirm a potentially dangerous operation. `prompt-for-continue' When GDB is asking the user to press return to continue. Note: Don't expect this to work well; instead use `set height 0' to disable prompting. This is because the counting of lines is buggy in the presence of annotations. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
