             Bug #: 15012
           Summary: online docs for "alias" command are unclear
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dje@google.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The help docs for the "alias" command say this:

Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND
ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create.
COMMAND is the command being aliased to.

A user could infer that COMMAND means command + arguments.

E.g.

alias nosegv = handle SIGSEGV nostop noprint pass
alias segv = handle SIGSEGV stop

This doesn't work, but the user could think it should.
