<a name="index-server-prefix-for-annotations"></a>

<p>To issue a command to <small>GDB</small> without affecting certain aspects of
the state which is seen by users, prefix it with &lsquo;<samp>server </samp>&rsquo;.  This
means that this command will not affect the command history, nor will it
affect <small>GDB</small>&rsquo;s notion of which command to repeat if <tt class="key">RET</tt> is
pressed on a line by itself.
</p>
<p>The server prefix does not affect the recording of values into the value
history; to print a value without recording it into the value history,
use the <code>output</code> command instead of the <code>print</code> command.
