Ok, how about this? Tom 2010-03-08 Tom Tromey PR cli/9591: * NEWS: Update. * utils.c: Include main.h. (fputs_maybe_filtered): Don't paginate if `batch_flag'. (defaulted_query): Use default answer if `batch_flag'. * main.h (batch_flag): Declare. * main.c (batch_flag): New global. (captured_main): Remove 'batch'. Update. 2010-03-08 Tom Tromey PR cli/9591: * gdb.texinfo (Mode Options): Mention lack of pagination and confirmation with --batch. (Screen Size): Mention --batch. (Messages/Warnings): Likewise.
