 8 Annotation for GDB Input
 **************************
 
 When GDB prompts for input, it annotates this fact so it is possible to
 know when to send output, when the output from a given command is over,
 etc.
 
    Different kinds of input each have a different "input type".  Each
 input type has three annotations: a `pre-' annotation, which denotes
 the beginning of any prompt which is being output, a plain annotation,
 which denotes the end of the prompt, and then a `post-' annotation
 which denotes the end of any echo which may (or may not) be associated
 with the input.  For example, the `prompt' input type features the
 following annotations:
 
      ^Z^Zpre-prompt
      ^Z^Zprompt
      ^Z^Zpost-prompt
 
    The input types are
 
 `prompt'
      When GDB is prompting for a command (the main GDB prompt).
 
 `commands'
      When GDB prompts for a set of commands, like in the `commands'
      command.  The annotations are repeated for each command which is
      input.
 
 `overload-choice'
      When GDB wants the user to select between various overloaded
      functions.
 
 `query'
      When GDB wants the user to confirm a potentially dangerous
      operation.
 
 `prompt-for-continue'
      When GDB is asking the user to press return to continue.  Note:
      Don't expect this to work well; instead use `set height 0' to
      disable prompting.  This is because the counting of lines is buggy
      in the presence of annotations.
