Setting file to debug

The command file lets you choose with program to debug.

(gdbslet) file prog

then attempts to read the symbol table of `prog'. locates the file by searching the directories listed in the command search path. If the file was compiled with debug information (option "-g"), source files will be searched as well. locates the source files by searching the directories listed in the directory search path (see section Your program's environment). If it fails to find a file, it displays a message such as:

prog: No such file or directory.

When this happens, add the appropriate directories to the search paths with the commands path and dir, and execute the target command again.
