<h3 class="section">4.3 Your Program's Arguments</h3>
<p><a name="index-arguments-_0028to-your-program_0029-126"></a>The arguments to your program can be specified by the arguments of the
<code>run</code> command.
They are passed to a shell, which expands wildcard characters and
performs redirection of I/O, and thence to your program. Your
<code>SHELL</code> environment variable (if it exists) specifies what shell
<span class="sc">gdb</span> uses. If you do not define <code>SHELL</code>, <span class="sc">gdb</span> uses
the default shell (<samp><span class="file">/bin/sh</span></samp> on Unix).
<p>On non-Unix systems, the program is usually invoked directly by
<span class="sc">gdb</span>, which emulates I/O redirection via the appropriate system
calls, and the wildcard characters are expanded by the startup code of
the program, not by the shell.
<p><code>run</code> with no arguments uses the same arguments used by the previous
<code>run</code>, or those set by the <code>set args</code> command.
<a name="index-set-args-127"></a>
<dl><dt><code>set args</code><dd>Specify the arguments to be used the next time your program is run. If
<code>set args</code> has no arguments, <code>run</code> executes your program
with no arguments. Once you have run your program with arguments,
using <code>set args</code> before the next <code>run</code> is the only way to run
it again without arguments.
<p><a name="index-show-args-128"></a><br><dt><code>show args</code><dd>Show the arguments to give your program when it is started.
