| <p>You can get quick online help for <small>GDB</small>’s Python API by issuing |
| the command <kbd>python help (gdb)</kbd><!-- /@w -->. |
| </p> |
| <p>Functions and methods which have two or more optional arguments allow |
| them to be specified using keyword syntax. This allows passing some |
| optional arguments while skipping others. Example: |
| <code><span class="nolinebreak">gdb.some_function</span> ('foo', bar = 1, baz = 2)</code><!-- /@w -->. |
