+ # A wrapper around gdb.Command for creating set/show prefixes.
+ #
+ # When creating a gdb.Parameter sub-classes, it is sometimes necessary
+ # to first create a gdb.Command object in order to create the needed
+ # command prefix. However, for parameters, we actually need two
+ # prefixes, a 'set' prefix, and a 'show' prefix. With this helper
+ # class, a single instance of this class will create both prefixes at
+ # once.
+ #
+ # It is important that this class-level documentation not be a __doc__
+ # string. Users are expected to sub-class this ParameterPrefix class
+ # and add their own documentation. If they don't, then GDB will
+ # generate a suitable doc string. But, if this (parent) class has a
+ # __doc__ sting of its own, then sub-classes will inherit that __doc__
+ # string, and GDB will not understand that it needs to generate one.
