Synopsis

symbol-file
symbol-file filename [-readnow]

With no argument, discard all symbol table information. Otherwise, treat filename as the file to get symbol table information from, and as the file to execute. This command searches $PATH to find the file if necessary. The -readnow option has the same meaning as for the file command; see file for more information.
