Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 19:55:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040618195549.0C0214B104@berman.michael-chastain.com> (raw)
Okay, here's draft #2. I mentioned Emacs as well as 'script'.
I added a @pindex and a @cindex.
Testing: Rebuilt gdb.info and checked the output files.
Okay to commit?

+ @pindex script
+ @cindex recording a session script
+ To collect all this information, you can use a session recording program
+ such as @command{script}, which is available on many Unix systems.
+ Just run your @value{GDBN} session inside @command{script} and then
+ include the @file{typescript} file with your bug report.
+
+ Another way to record a @value{GDBN} session is to run @value{GDBN}
+ inside Emacs and then save the entire buffer to a file.
