@item info auto-load-scripts [@var{regexp}]
-Print the list of all scripts that gdb auto-loaded, or tried to auto-load.
+Print the list of all scripts that @value{GDBN} auto-loaded.
+
+Also printed is the list of scripts that were mentioned in
+the @code{.debug_gdb_scripts} section and were not found
+(@pxref{.debug_gdb_scripts section}).
+This is useful because their names are not printed when @value{GDBN}
+tries to load them and fails. There may be many of them, and printing
+an error message for each one is problematic.
+
If @var{regexp} is supplied only scripts with matching names are printed.
+Example:
