For this command to work, you must have used @code{symbol-file} or
@code{exec-file} commands in advance.
-@kindex add-shared-symbol-files
-@kindex assf
-@item add-shared-symbol-files @var{library-file}
-@itemx assf @var{library-file}
-This command is deprecated and will be removed in future versions
-of @value{GDBN}. Use the @code{sharedlibrary} command instead.
-
-The @code{add-shared-symbol-files} command can currently be used only
-in the Cygwin build of @value{GDBN} on MS-Windows OS, where it is an
-alias for the @code{dll-symbols} command (@pxref{Cygwin Native}).
-@value{GDBN} automatically looks for shared libraries, however if
-@value{GDBN} does not find yours, you can invoke
-@code{add-shared-symbol-files}. It takes one argument: the shared
-library's file name. @code{assf} is a shorthand alias for
-@code{add-shared-symbol-files}.

@kindex section
@item section @var{section} @var{addr}
The @code{section} command changes the base address of the named
@item info dll
This is a Cygwin-specific alias of @code{info shared}.
-@kindex dll-symbols
-@item dll-symbols
-This command is deprecated and will be removed in future versions
-of @value{GDBN}. Use the @code{sharedlibrary} command instead.
-
-This command loads symbols from a dll similarly to
-add-sym command but without the need to specify a base address.
