GDB "server" command

Question

During usage of ConqueGDB I noticed that it sends following commands:

server backtrace
server break
server <anything>

I'm wondering what is the purpose of the server keyword here. Alone it returns:

Undefined command: "server". Try "help".

With other commands like those mentioned before it looks like the word is just ignored.

@ks1322 I don't think the vim tag is needed here. My question is not related to vim itself. — woockashek

When I googled "ConqueGDB", I found this vim plugin, so I decided that it is related to vim. If it is not, feel free to remove the tag. — ks1322

The server prefix can be used to prevent a command from being put into the command history, and to avoid having it be available for command repetition. This is useful for front ends that want to run some commands without interfering with whatever the user might be doing. This is documented in the manual.
