  21    <p>Each time you start your program with <code>run</code>, it inherits its
  22 working directory from the current working directory of GDB.
  23 The GDB working directory is initially whatever it inherited
  24 from its parent process (typically the shell), but you can specify a new
  25 working directory in GDB with the <code>cd</code> command.
  26
  27    <p>The GDB working directory also serves as a default for the commands
  28 that specify files for GDB to operate on.  See <a href="Files.html#Files">Commands to specify files</a>.

  35      <dd>Print the GDB working directory.
