How about this? (please add markups)

Resumes the execution of the inferior program, which will continue
to execute until it reaches a debugger stop event. If the
@samp{--reverse} option is specified, execution resumes in reverse until
it reaches a stop event. Stop events may include
* breakpoints or watchpoints
* signals or exceptions)
* the end of the process (or its beginning if --reverse)
* the end (beginning) of a replay log if one is being used.
