The @code{add-symbol-file} command reads additional symbol table
information from the file @var{filename}. You would use this command
when @var{filename} has been dynamically loaded (by some other means)
into the program that is running. @var{address} should be the memory
address at which the file has been loaded; @value{GDBN} cannot figure
this out for itself. You can specify up to three addresses, in which
case they are taken to be the addresses of the text, data, and bss
segments respectively. For complicated cases, you can specify an
arbitrary number of @samp{@r{-T}@var{section} @var{address}} pairs, to
give an explicit section name and base address for that section. You
can specify any @var{address} as an expression.
