When you start @value{GDBN}, it automatically executes commands from its
@dfn{init files}. These are files named @file{@value{GDBINIT}}. @value{GDBN} reads
the init file (if any) in your home directory and then the init file
(if any) in the current working directory. (The init files are not
executed if you use the @samp{-nx} option; @pxref{Mode Options,
,Choosing modes}.)
@dfn{init files}. These are files named @file{@value{GDBINIT}}.
@value{GDBN} reads the init file (if any) in your home directory, then
processes command line options and operands, and then reads the init
file (if any) in the current working directory. This is so the init
file in your home directory can set options (such as @code{set
complaints} which affect the processing of the command line options and
operands. The init files are not executed if you use the @samp{-nx}
option; @pxref{Mode Options, ,Choosing modes}.
