+
+<p>For the developers convenience CLI commands can be entered directly,
+but there may be some unexpected behaviour. For example, commands
+that query the user will behave as if the user replied yes, breakpoint
+command lists are not executed and some CLI commands, such as
+<code>if</code>, <code>when</code> and <code>define</code>, prompt for further input with
+&lsquo;<samp>&gt;</samp>&rsquo;, which is not valid MI output.
+</p>
+<p>This feature may be removed at some stage in the future and it is
+recommended that front ends use the <code>-interpreter-exec</code> command
+(see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Miscellaneous-Commands.html#g_t_002dinterpreter_002dexec">-interpreter-exec</a>).
