When @value{GDBN} starts, it reads any arguments other than options as

the same as if the arguments were specified by the @samp{-se} and
@samp{-c} options respectively. (@value{GDBN} reads the first argument
that does not have an associated option flag as equivalent to the
@samp{-se} option followed by that argument; and the second argument

If the second argument begins with a decimal digit, @value{GDBN} will
first attempt to attach to it as a process, and if that fails, attempt
to open it as a corefile. If you have a corefile whose name begins with
a digit, you can prevent @value{GDBN} from treating it as a pid by
prefixing it with @samp{"./"}, eg. @samp{"./12345"}.
