started by @value{GDBN} itself.
@end defvar
+@defvar Inferior.main_name
+A string holding the name of this inferior's ``main'' function, if it
+can be determined. If the name of main is not known, this is
+@code{None}.
+@end defvar
+
@defvar Inferior.progspace
The inferior's program space. @xref{Progspaces In Python}.
@end defvar
+@defvar Inferior.arguments
+The inferior's command line arguments, if known. This corresponds to
+the @code{set args} and @code{show args} commands. @xref{Arguments}.
+
+When accessed, the value is a string holding all the arguments. The
+contents are quoted as they would be when passed to the shell. If
+there are no arguments, the value is @code{None}.
+
+Either a string or a sequence of strings can be assigned to this
+attribute. When a string is assigned, it is assumed to have any
+necessary quoting for the shell; when a sequence is assigned, the
+quoting is applied by @value{GDBN}.
+@end defvar
+
A @code{gdb.Inferior} object has the following methods:
@defun Inferior.is_valid ()
is deprecated.
@end defun
+
+The environment that will be passed to the inferior can be changed
+from Python by using the following methods. These methods only take
+effect when the inferior is started -- they will not affect an
+inferior that is already executing.
+
+@findex Inferior.clear_env
+@defun Inferior.clear_env ()
+Clear the current environment variables that will be passed to this
+inferior.
+@end defun
+
+@findex Inferior.set_env
+@defun Inferior.set_env (name, value)
+Set the environment variable @var{name} to have the indicated value.
+Both parameters must be strings.
+@end defun
+
+@findex Inferior.unset_env
+@defun Inferior.unset_env (name)
+Unset the environment variable @var{name}. @var{name} must be a
+string.
+@end defun
