+For better visibility of all the file locations where you can place scripts to
+be auto-loaded with inferior --- or to protect yourself against accidental
+execution of untrusted scripts --- @value{GDBN} provides a feature for printing

+For example the list of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files
+(@pxref{Auto-loading safe path}) applies also to canonicalized filenames which
+may not be too obvious while setting it up.
