+Run in batch mode exactly like @samp{-batch}, but totally silently. All GDB
+output to @code{stdout} is prevented (@code{stderr} is unaffected). This is
+much quieter than @samp{-silent} and would be useless for an interactive
+session.
+
+This is particularly useful when using targets that give @samp{Loading section} messages, for example.
+
+Note that targets that give their output via GDB, as opposed to writing
+directly to @code{stdout}, will also be made silent.
