Source directory mapping commands
Use the D or dir command to add new directories to be searched for source files. See “File viewing
commands” (page 196).
GDB does not provide a source directory mapping capability and therefore does not have any
equivalent of the apm, dpm, and lpm commands.
Data Viewing and modification commands
There are many info commands in addition to those shown here. Use help info to get a list.
The following table lists the XDB and equivalent HP WDB commands for viewing and modifying
