@cindex @file{gdb.ini}
When you start @value{GDBN}, it automatically executes commands from its
@dfn{init files}. These are files named @file{.gdbinit} on Unix, or
@file{gdb.ini} on DOS/Windows. @value{GDBN} reads the init file (if
any) in your home directory@footnote{On DOS/Windows systems, the home
directory is the one pointed to by the @code{HOME} environment
variable.}, 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}.

Reads the init file (if any) in your home directory@footnote{On
DOS/Windows systems, the home directory is the one pointed to by the

@item
Reads command files specified by the @samp{-x} option.
@end enumerate
The init file in your home directory can set options (such as @samp{set
complaints}) that affect subsequent processing of command line options
and operands. Init files are not executed if you use the @samp{-nx}
option (@pxref{Mode Options, ,Choosing modes}).
