+@subsection Memory Access Checking
+@value{GDBN} can be instructed to refuse accesses to memory that is
+not explicitly described. This can be useful if accessing such
+regions has undesired effects for a specific target, or to provide
+better error checking. The following commands control this behaviour.
+
+@table @code
+@kindex set mem inaccessible-by-default
+@item set mem inaccessible-by-default [on|off]
+If @code{on} is specified, make @value{GDBN} treat memory not
+explicitly described by the memory ranges as non-existent and refuse accesses
+to such memory. The checks are only performed if there's at least one
+memory range defined. If @code{off} is specified, make @value{GDBN}
+treat the memory not explicitly described by the memory ranges as RAM.
+The default value is @code{off}.
+@kindex show mem inaccessible-by-default
+@item show mem inaccessible-by-default
+Show the current handling of accesses to unknown memory.
