commands, described in the GDB manual in node "Sequences" --
shell command "info -f gdb -n Sequences".
Please read more in the GDB manual in node "Startup" -- shell
command "info -f gdb -n Startup".
(not enabled with "--with-system-gdbinit" during compilation)
System-wide initialization file. It is executed unless user
specified GDB option "-nx" or "-n". See more in the GDB
manual in node "System-wide configuration" -- shell command
"info -f gdb -n 'System-wide configuration'".
(not enabled with "--with-system-gdbinit-dir" during compilation)
System-wide initialization directory. All files in this
directory are executed on startup unless user specified GDB
option "-nx" or "-n", as long as they have a recognized file
extension. See more in the GDB manual in node "System-wide
configuration" -- shell command "info -f gdb -n 'System-wide
configuration'".

User initialization file. It is executed unless user
specified GDB options "-nx", "-n" or "-nh".
