+This is the function used by @value{GDBN} to print an assembly
+instruction.  It prints the instruction at address @var{addr} in
+debugged memory and returns the length of the instruction, in bytes.  If
+a target doesn't define its own printing routine, it defaults to an
+accessor function for the global pointer @code{tm_print_insn}. This
+usually points to a function in the @code{opcodes} library (@pxref{Support
+Libraries, ,Opcodes}).  @var{info} is a structure (of type
+@code{disassemble_info}) defined in @file{include/dis-asm.h} used to
