| <p><var>object-regexp</var> is a regular expression matching the objects |

| Objects can be <code>global</code>, the program space's file |

| <p>Example: |
| |
| <p>Suppose we have three pretty-printers installed: one from library1.so |
| named <code>foo</code> that prints objects of type <code>foo</code>, and |
| another from library2.so named <code>bar</code> that prints two types of objects, |
| <code>bar1</code> and <code>bar2</code>. |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) info pretty-printer |
| library1.so: |
| foo |
| library2.so: |
| bar |
| bar1 |
| bar2 |
| (gdb) info pretty-printer library2 |
| library2.so: |
| bar |
| bar1 |
| bar2 |
| (gdb) disable pretty-printer library1 |
| 1 printer disabled |
| 2 of 3 printers enabled |
| (gdb) info pretty-printer |
| library1.so: |
| foo [disabled] |
| library2.so: |
| bar |
| bar1 |
| bar2 |
| (gdb) disable pretty-printer library2 bar;bar1 |
| 1 printer disabled |
| 1 of 3 printers enabled |
| (gdb) info pretty-printer library2 |
| library1.so: |
| foo [disabled] |
| library2.so: |
| bar |
| bar1 [disabled] |
| bar2 |
| (gdb) disable pretty-printer library2 bar |
| 1 printer disabled |
| 0 of 3 printers enabled |
| (gdb) info pretty-printer library2 |
| library1.so: |
| foo [disabled] |
| library2.so: |
| bar [disabled] |
| bar1 [disabled] |
| bar2 |
| </pre> |
| <p>Note that for <code>bar</code> the entire printer can be disabled, |
| as can each individual subprinter. |
