<p><a name="index-prefix-for-data-files-1296"></a><span class="sc">gdb</span> will sometimes read an auxiliary data file. These files
are kept in a directory known as the <dfn>data directory</dfn>.
<p>You can set the data directory's name, and view the name <span class="sc">gdb</span>
is currently using.

&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--with-gdb-datadir</span></samp>&rsquo; option. If the data directory is inside
<span class="sc">gdb</span>'s configured binary prefix (set with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--prefix</span></samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--exec-prefix</span></samp>&rsquo;), then the default data directory will be updated
automatically if the installed <span class="sc">gdb</span> is moved to a new
location.
<p>The data directory may also be specified with the
<code>--data-directory</code> command line option.
