 Shell commands
 ==============
 
    If you need to execute occasional shell commands during your
 debugging session, there is no need to leave or suspend GDB; you can
 just use the `shell' command.
 
 `shell COMMAND STRING'
      Invoke a standard shell to execute COMMAND STRING.  If it exists,
      the environment variable `SHELL' determines which shell to run.
      Otherwise GDB uses the default shell (`/bin/sh' on Unix systems,
      `COMMAND.COM' on MS-DOS, etc.).
 
    The utility `make' is often needed in development environments.  You
 do not have to use the `shell' command for this purpose in GDB:
 
 `make MAKE-ARGS'
      Execute the `make' program with the specified arguments.  This is
      equivalent to `shell make MAKE-ARGS'.
