The former, of course.  The text before the table says:

    The host (GDB) sends COMMANDs, and the target (the debugging stub
    incorporated in your program) sends a RESPONSE.

This is to say, _all_ the commands in the table are sent from host to
target; the stab on the target only sends responses to those commands.

Please suggest how to make this point more clear in the manual.
