Yeah, actually, I found this in cli/cli-cmds.c:init_cli_cmds: /* NOTE: cagney/2000-03-20: Being able to enter ``(gdb) !ls'' would be a really useful feature. Unfortunately, the below wont do this. Instead it adds support for the form ``(gdb) ! ls'' (i.e. the space is required). If the ``!'' command below is added the complains about no ``!'' command would be replaced by complains about how the ``!'' command is broken :-) */ if (xdb_commands) add_com_alias ("!", "shell", class_support, 0); -- Pedro Alves
