Subject: Enable hidden option -l
Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 23:44:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3eki3hu43.fsf@igel.m5r.de> (raw)

GDB has (since the beginning of CVS history) a hidden option -l that can
be used to set the timeout for remote communication.  But it was never
possible to pass it because it is missing from long_options.

The option is quite useful when debugging gdbserver.

Andreas.

2004-12-07  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

	* main.c (long_options): Add entry for "-l".
	(print_gdb_help): Add line for -l option.

doc/
	* gdb.texinfo (Mode Options): Document -l option.
