Annotation for GDB Input
************************
When GDB prompts for input, it annotates this fact so it is possible
to know when to send output, when the output from a given command is
over, etc.
Different kinds of input each have a different "input type". Each
input type has three annotations: a `pre-' annotation, which denotes
the beginning of any prompt which is being output, a plain annotation,
which denotes the end of the prompt, and then a `post-' annotation
which denotes the end of any echo which may (or may not) be associated
with the input. For example, the `prompt' input type features the
following annotations:
^Z^Zpre-prompt
^Z^Zprompt
^Z^Zpost-prompt
The input types are
`prompt'
When GDB is prompting for a command (the main GDB prompt).
`commands'
When GDB prompts for a set of commands, like in the `commands'
command. The annotations are repeated for each command which is
input.
`overload-choice'
When GDB wants the user to select between various overloaded
functions.
`query'
When GDB wants the user to confirm a potentially dangerous
operation.
`prompt-for-continue'
When GDB is asking the user to press return to continue. Note:
Don't expect this to work well; instead use `set height 0' to
disable prompting. This is because the counting of lines is buggy
in the presence of annotations.
