+
+ * commands.h (enum command_class): Use different
+ values for class_deprecated and class_run.
+ * cli/cli-decode.c: (print_help_for_command): New.
+ (apropos_cmd): Use the above.
+ (help_list): Mention 'help all'
+ and 'apropos' when printing top-level help.
+ (help_all): Print the class name before printing
+ commands in that class. Don't print prefix commands
+ here, instead pass recurse flag to help_cmd_list.
+ Print list of unclassified commands at the end.
+ (help_cmd_list): When recursing, use all_commands class.
+ Recurse only if the class of the command matches.
+

* gdbcmd.h (detachlist): Declare.
