Hi all,
I'm running gdb 7.0 and first of all let me thank you, it's simply
*AWESOME*, reversible debugging and scripting are some features we
always dreamt for, and now they're finally available to all the free
world, thanks!!
I have a small problem, I need to show the name of the file debugged
in a gdb script, and info target looks overkill as it shows too much
information.

While running this, GDB does not access memory from...
Local exec file:

There is some way to show *only* this information?, otherwise I suggest
to implement a show file command.
Regards.
