@section @sc{gdb/mi} Compatibility with CLI
@cindex compatibility, @sc{gdb/mi} and CLI
@cindex @sc{gdb/mi}, compatibility with CLI
To help users familiar with @value{GDBN}'s existing CLI interface, @sc{gdb/mi}
accepts existing CLI commands. As specified by the syntax, such
commands can be directly entered into the @sc{gdb/mi} interface and @value{GDBN} will
respond.
This mechanism is provided as an aid to developers of @sc{gdb/mi}
clients and not as a reliable interface into the CLI. Since the command
is being interpreteted in an environment that assumes @sc{gdb/mi}
behaviour, the exact output of such commands is likely to end up being
an un-supported hybrid of @sc{gdb/mi} and CLI output.
For the developers convenience CLI commands can be entered directly.
However, CLI commands that use sequences of commands such @code{source},
@code{commands} will not work and commands that result in queries such
as pending breakpoints and quitting once execution has started will
default to yes.
This feature may be removed at some stage in the future and it is
recommended that front ends use the @code{-interpreter exec} command.

include an exit code, if the program has exited exceptionally.
