  18 <h5 class="subsubsection">Setting file to debug</h5>
  19
  20    <p>The GDB command <code>file</code> lets you choose with program to debug.
  21
  22 <pre class="example">     (gdbslet) file prog
  23      </pre>
  24
  25    GDB then attempts to read the symbol table of <code>prog</code>.
  26 GDB locates
  27 the file by searching the directories listed in the command search
  28 path.
  29 If the file was compiled with debug information (option "-g"), source
  30 files will be searched as well.
  31 GDB locates
  32 the source files by searching the directories listed in the directory search
  33 path (see <a href="Environment.html#Environment">Your program's environment</a>).
  34 If it fails
  35 to find a file, it displays a message such as:
  36
  37 <pre class="example">     prog: No such file or directory.
  38      </pre>
  39
  40    <p>When this happens, add the appropriate directories to the search paths with
  41 the GDB commands <code>path</code> and <code>dir</code>, and execute the
  42 <code>target</code> command again.
