Bug #: 15012
Summary: online docs for "alias" command are unclear
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: dje@google.com
Classification: Unclassified
The help docs for the "alias" command say this:
Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND
ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create.
COMMAND is the command being aliased to.
A user could infer that COMMAND means command + arguments.
E.g.
alias nosegv = handle SIGSEGV nostop noprint pass
alias segv = handle SIGSEGV stop
This doesn't work, but the user could think it should.

Rather than fixing the docs, maybe "alias" could be fixed to make this work.
