Btw, the place we show "-ex" on the screen is unfortunate, as it is
very hard to find it at first glance. See how it is obscured by text
above and below it:
--cd=DIR Change current directory to DIR.
--command=FILE, -x Execute GDB commands from FILE.
--eval-command=COMMAND, -ex
Execute a single GDB command.
May be used multiple times and in conjunction
It would be much better if we reformat the output like this:
--cd=DIR Change current directory to DIR.
--command=FILE, -x Execute GDB commands from FILE.
--eval-command=COMMAND,
-ex Execute a single GDB command.
May be used multiple times and in conjunction
