Yeah, that's a gdb macro, didn't want to mention it in the user docs.
But ok, how about this?
If you omit @var{path}, @samp{libthread-db-search-path} will be reset to
its default value (an empty list on @sc{gnu}/Linux and Solaris systems).
Internally, the default value comes from the @code{LIBTHREAD_DB_SEARCH_PATH}
macro.
