| This module provides a method for prompt value-substitution. |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>substitute_prompt (</code><var>string</var><code>)</code><dd>Return <var>string</var> with escape sequences substituted by values. Some |
| escape sequences take arguments. You can specify arguments inside |
| “{}” immediately following the escape sequence. |
| |
| <p>The escape sequences you can pass to this function are: |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>\\</code><dd>Substitute a backslash. |
| <br><dt><code>\e</code><dd>Substitute an ESC character. |
| <br><dt><code>\f</code><dd>Substitute the selected frame; an argument names a frame parameter. |
| <br><dt><code>\n</code><dd>Substitute a newline. |
| <br><dt><code>\p</code><dd>Substitute a parameter's value; the argument names the parameter. |
| <br><dt><code>\r</code><dd>Substitute a carriage return. |
| <br><dt><code>\t</code><dd>Substitute the selected thread; an argument names a thread parameter. |
| <br><dt><code>\v</code><dd>Substitute the version of GDB. |
| <br><dt><code>\w</code><dd>Substitute the current working directory. |
| <br><dt><code>\[</code><dd>Begin a sequence of non-printing characters. These sequences are |
| typically used with the ESC character, and are not counted in the string |
| length. Example: “\[\e[0;34m\](gdb)\[\e[0m\]” will return a |
| blue-colored “(gdb)” prompt where the length is five. |
| <br><dt><code>\]</code><dd>End a sequence of non-printing characters. |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>For example: |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> substitute_prompt (``frame: \f, |
| print arguments: \p{print frame-arguments}'') |
| </pre> |
| <p><br>will return the string:<br> |
| |
| |
| <pre class="smallexample"> "frame: main, print arguments: scalars" |
| </pre> |
| </dl> |
