+GDB dashboard is a standalone .gdbinit file written using the Python API
+that enables a modular interface showing relevant information about the
+program being debugged. Its main goal is to reduce the number of GDB
+commands needed to inspect the status of current program thus allowing
+the developer to primarily focus on the control flow.
+
+There are a few ways to enable the dashboard:
+
+* Add the following line to the end of ~/.gdbinit:
+
+  source /etc/gdbinit.d/dashboard
+
+* Enable in the GDB command using the -x flag:
+
+  gdb -q -x /etc/gdbinit.d/dashboard ...
+
+or if using cgdb too:
+
+  cgdb -- -q -x /etc/gdbinit.d/dashboard ...
+
+You may find that using cgdb and dashboard together works best with a
+vertical split.
+
+  Press:
+
+  <Esc>     to enter cgdb CLI.
+  <Ctrl-W>  to toggle split orientation.
+  i         to return to GDB insert mode.
+
+Or add to ~/.cgdb/cdgbrc:
+
+  set wso=vertical

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
