@section The Server Prefix
@cindex server prefix
If you prefix a command with @samp{server } then it will not affect
the command history, nor will it affect @value{GDBN}'s notion of which
command to repeat if @key{RET} is pressed on a line by itself. This
means that commands can be run behind a user's back by a front-end in
a transparent manner.
The server prefix does not affect the recording of values into the value
history; to print a value without recording it into the value history,
use the @code{output} command instead of the @code{print} command.
