Multiple commands in gdb separated by some sort of delimiter ';'?

Question

I am trying to execute two commands at once in gdb:

finish; next

I tried using the \';\' to separate the commands but gdb did not let me do

Answer 1

i ran across another way to do multiple commands in GDB using a Bash HERE document.

example:

cat << EOF | gdb
print "command_1"
print "..."
print "command_n"
EOF

this has limited value/usability IMO because GDB quits after executing the list of commands.
