| |
| <a name="index-prefix-for-data-files"></a> |
| <p><small>GDB</small> will sometimes read an auxiliary data file. These files |
| are kept in a directory known as the <em>data directory</em>. |
| </p> |
| <p>You can set the data directory’s name, and view the name <small>GDB</small> |
| is currently using. |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dd><a name="index-set-data_002ddirectory"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>set data-directory <var>directory</var></code></dt> |
| <dd><p>Set the directory which <small>GDB</small> searches for auxiliary data files |
| to <var>directory</var>. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-show-data_002ddirectory"></a> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>show data-directory</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>Show the directory <small>GDB</small> searches for auxiliary data files. |
| </p></dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <a name="index-default-data-directory"></a> |
| <a name="index-_002d_002dwith_002dgdb_002ddatadir"></a> |
| <p>You can set the default data directory by using the configure-time |
| ‘<samp>--with-gdb-datadir</samp>’ option. If the data directory is inside |
| <small>GDB</small>’s configured binary prefix (set with ‘<samp>--prefix</samp>’ or |
| ‘<samp>--exec-prefix</samp>’), then the default data directory will be updated |
| automatically if the installed <small>GDB</small> is moved to a new |
| location. |
| </p> |
| <p>The data directory may also be specified with the |
| <code>--data-directory</code> command line option. |
| See <a href="Mode-Options.html#Mode-Options">Mode Options</a>. |
