Subject: [PATCH 1/1] gdb, doc: correct argument description for info connections/inferiors
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 13:39:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230327113922.618826-2-christina.schimpe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230327113922.618826-1-christina.schimpe@intel.com>
From: Nils-Christian Kempke <nils-christian.kempke@intel.com>
It said for 'info inferiors' and 'info connections' that the argument
could be 'a space separated list of inferior numbers' which is correct
but incomplete. In fact the arguments can be any space separated
combination of numbers and (ascending) ranges.
The beginning of the section now describes the ID list as a new keyword.
