These are the messages explaining why no entity was printed, e.g
(gdb) info arg -t xxxx yyyy
No matching arguments.
(gdb) info arg -q -t xxxx yyyy
(gdb)
(gdb) info arg -t xxxx yyyy
No symbol table info available.
(gdb) info arg -q -t xxxx yyyy
(gdb)
So, what about (like in the texinfo doc): The flag -q
disables printing headers or messages explaining why no entities
have been printed.
