Subject: [patch] Add -q in help info and doc
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:13:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADNgcExxcG75mYskwGZGNcFHbPyzMA=5y3pAkAGBeeLKvMz2UQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 384 bytes --]
Hello,
I notice that "-q" and "--silent" options are not mentioned in gdb's
help information. This patch just adds them and updates the document.
Besides, most options in gdb document are using "-" prefix instead of "--".
ChangeLog
* gdb.texinfo (Invoking GDB): Add -q and --quiet.
* main.c (print_gdb_help): Add -q and --silent.
Is it OK?
Best regards,
Mingjie
