| <p><a name="index-objfiles-in-python-1808"></a><a name="index-gdb_002eObjfile-1809"></a><a name="index-Objfile-1810"></a><span class="sc">gdb</span> loads symbols for an inferior from various |
| symbol-containing files (see <a href="Files.html#Files">Files</a>). These include the primary |
| executable file, any shared libraries used by the inferior, and any |
| separate debug info files (see <a href="Separate-Debug-Files.html#Separate-Debug-Files">Separate Debug Files</a>). |
| <span class="sc">gdb</span> calls these symbol-containing files <dfn>objfiles</dfn>. |
| |
| <p>The following objfile-related functions are available in the |
| <code>gdb</code> module: |
| |
| <p><a name="index-gdb_002ecurrent_005fobjfile-1811"></a> |
| |
| <div class="defun"> |
| — Function: <b>current_objfile</b><var><a name="index-current_005fobjfile-1812"></a></var><br> |
| <blockquote><p>When auto-loading a Python script (see <a href="Auto_002dloading.html#Auto_002dloading">Auto-loading</a>), <span class="sc">gdb</span> |
| sets the “current objfile” to the corresponding objfile. This |
| function returns the current objfile. If there is no current objfile, |
| this function returns <code>None</code>. |
| </p></blockquote></div> |
| |
| <p><a name="index-gdb_002eobjfiles-1813"></a> |

| <div class="defun"> |

| <blockquote><p>Return a sequence of all the objfiles current known to <span class="sc">gdb</span>. |
| See <a href="Objfiles-In-Python.html#Objfiles-In-Python">Objfiles In Python</a>. |

| |
| <p>Each objfile is represented by an instance of the <code>gdb.Objfile</code> |
| class. |
| |
| <div class="defun"> |
| — Instance Variable of Objfile: <b>filename</b><var><a name="index-filename-1815"></a></var><br> |

| <blockquote><p>The <code>pretty_printers</code> attribute is a list of functions. It is |
| used to look up pretty-printers. A <code>Value</code> is passed to each |
| function in order; if the function returns <code>None</code>, then the |
| search continues. Otherwise, the return value should be an object |
| which is used to format the value. See <a href="Pretty-Printing-API.html#Pretty-Printing-API">Pretty Printing API</a>, for more |
