/* Command classes are top-level categories into which commands are
broken down for "help" purposes.
- Notes on classes: class_alias is for alias commands which are not
- abbreviations of the original command. class-pseudo is for
- commands which are not really commands nor help topics ("stop"). */

+ Aliases pre-defined by GDB (e.g. the alias "bt" of the "backtrace" command)
+ are not using the class_alias.
+ Different pre-defined aliases of the same command do not necessarily
+ have the same classes. For example, class_stack is used for the
+ "backtrace" and its "bt" alias", while "info stack" (also an alias
+ of "backtrace" uses class_info. */
