<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 -->.
