Prompt
GDB indicates its readiness
to read a command by printing a string called the prompt. This string
is normally ‘(gdb)’.
You can change the prompt string with the set
prompt command.
For instance, when debugging GDB with GDB, it is useful to change the prompt
in one of the GDB sessions so that you can always tell which one you are
talking to.
Note:
set prompt
no longer adds a space for you after the prompt you set. This allows you
to set a prompt which ends in a space or a prompt that does not.
set prompt
newprompt
Directs GDB to use newprompt
as its prompt string henceforth.
show prompt
Prints a line of the form:
‘gdb’s prompt is: your-prompt’.
