[patch] gdbserver usage message improvement


From: Martin Pool
Subject: [patch] gdbserver usage message improvement
Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 16:09:48 +1000
User-agent: Mutt/1.3.28i

This small message brings gdbserver's usage message up to date with
the manual, so that it indicates it can support TCP as well as serial
connections.  I remember being puzzled by this in the past, so I think
it would make gdb more friendly to have the message correct.

As far as I can see TCP is supported on all platforms where gdbserver
builds.

Thanks,
