tell the target agent whether to continue running a trace if the
connection is lost unexpectedly.
+ ** Trace files
+
+ GDB now has the ability to save the trace buffer into a file, and
+ then use that file as a target, similarly to you can do with
+ corefiles. You can select trace frames, print data that was
+ collected in them, and use tstatus to display the state of the
+ tracing run at the moment that it was saved. To create a trace
+ file, use "tsave <filename>", and to use it, do "target tfile
+ <name>".
