Description Kevin Locke 2018-12-08 19:50:24 UTC 
The --args option does not appear in the gdb.1 manual page (or gdb.pod from which it is generated).  It is documented in gdb.texinfo from which gdb.pod is generated[1] but it is not contained in a `@c man` block, so is stripped by etc/texi2pod.pl.  It would be helpful for users if this option were documented in the manual page.

Thanks for considering,
Kevin
