By default, <span class="sc">gdb</span> reads and executes the canned sequences of commands
from init file (if any) in the current working directory,
see <a href="Init-File-in-the-Current-Directory-during-Startup.html#Init-File-in-the-Current-Directory-during-Startup">Init File in the Current Directory during Startup</a>.

   <p>Note that loading of this local <samp><span class="file">.gdbinit</span></samp> file also requires accordingly
configured <code>auto-load safe-path</code> (see <a href="Auto_002dloading-safe-path.html#Auto_002dloading-safe-path">Auto-loading safe path</a>).
