_What_ will happen if the file lives there?

The above sentence describes what happens from GDB' POV.  GDB is not
clairvoyant, so it cannot know a-priori whether the file is or isn't
in the data directory.  The sentence says it will look there for the
file, i.e. try to see if the file is there.  Isn't that what happens?
Maybe I misunderstand something.

We are proceeding now ;-)
