  20
  21    <p>To help users familiar with GDB's existing CLI interface, <small>GDB/MI</small>
  22 accepts existing CLI commands.  As specified by the syntax, such
  23 commands can be directly entered into the <small>GDB/MI</small> interface and GDB will
  24 respond.
  25
  26    <p>This mechanism is provided as an aid to developers of <small>GDB/MI</small>
  27 clients and not as a reliable interface into the CLI.  Since the command
  28 is being interpreteted in an environment that assumes <small>GDB/MI</small>
  29 behaviour, the exact output of such commands is likely to end up being
  30 an un-supported hybrid of <small>GDB/MI</small> and CLI output.
