Given your explanations, I suggest to reword this:
Create index files for all symbol files currently known by
@value{GDBN}. For each known @var{symbol-file}, this command
by default creates 2 files: @file{@var{symbol-file}.debug_names}
and @file{@var{symbol-file}.debug_str}. If you invoke this
command with the @option{-dwarf-4} option, it produces a single
file @file{@var{symbol-file}.gdb-index}. The files are created
in the given @var{directory}.
Otherwise, the documentation parts are fine, thanks.
