<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.

<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.
