2005-12-06 Andrew Stubbs * symfile.c (add_symbol_file_command): Use buildargv(), instead of hand decoding the command line, to allow use of quotes and spaces. (_initialize_symfile): Reorganize the help message for add-symbol-file such that 'help files' shows a better message. testsuite/ * gdb.base/help.exp (help add-symbol-file): Update.
