From: Andrew Burgess Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 15:58:12 +0000 (+0100) Subject: gdb/doc: extend the description for Progspace.filename X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce65386db6653171334434ae488a0c0e10a60871;p=binutils-gdb.git gdb/doc: extend the description for Progspace.filename Extend the description for Progspace.filename in the documentation to mention what the returned string is actually the filename for (e.g. that it is the filename passed to the 'symbol-file' or 'file' command). Also document that this attribute will be None if no symbol file is currently loaded.
