<h4 class="subsubsection">21.3.8.1 Setting File to Debug</h4>
<p>The <small>GDB</small> command <code>file</code> lets you choose with program to debug.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(gdbslet) file prog
</pre></div>
<p><small>GDB</small> then attempts to read the symbol table of <samp>prog</samp>.
<small>GDB</small> locates
the file by searching the directories listed in the command search
path.
If the file was compiled with debug information (option &lsquo;<samp>-g</samp>&rsquo;), source
files will be searched as well.
<small>GDB</small> locates
the source files by searching the directories listed in the directory search
path (see <a href="Environment.html#Environment">Your Program&rsquo;s Environment</a>).
If it fails
to find a file, it displays a message such as:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">prog: No such file or directory.
</pre></div>
<p>When this happens, add the appropriate directories to the search paths with
the <small>GDB</small> commands <code>path</code> and <code>dir</code>, and execute the
<code>target</code> command again.
</p>
