When you start @value{GDBN}, it automatically executes commands from its
-@dfn{init files}. These are files named @file{.gdbinit} on Unix, or
-@file{gdb.ini} on DOS/Windows. @value{GDBN} reads the init file (if

-directory is the one pointed to by the @code{HOME} environment
-variable.}, then processes command line options and operands, and then
