| For the developers convenience CLI commands can be entered directly, |
| but there may be some unexpected behaviour. For example, commands |
| that query the user will behave as if the user replied yes, breakpoint |
| command lists are not executed and some CLI commands, such as |
| <code>if</code>, <code>when</code> and <code>define</code>, prompt for further input with |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">></span></samp>’, which is not valid MI output. |
| |
| <p>This feature may be removed at some stage in the future and it is |
| recommended that front ends use the <code>-interpreter-exec</code> command |
| (see <a href="_002dinterpreter_002dexec.html#g_t_002dinterpreter_002dexec">-interpreter-exec</a>). |
