Okay, here's a revised patch that calls them "maint list {,p}symtab".
Perhaps commands that produce so much output that they need to be able
to send it to a file should be renamed to "maint dump"?
gdb/ChangeLog:
2003-04-10 Jim Blandy <jimb at redhat dot com>
* symmisc.c: #include "gdb_regex.h".
(maintenance_list_symtabs, maintenance_list_psymtabs): New
functions.
* maint.c (maintenance_list_command): New function.
(_initialize_maint_cmds): Register the above as commands.
* symtab.h (maintenance_list_symtabs,
maintenance_list_psymtabs): New declarations.
* cli/cli-cmds.c (maintenancelistlist): New variable.
(init_cmd_lists): Initialize it.
* cli/cli-cmds.h (maintenancelistlist): New declaration.
* gdbcmd.h (maintenancelistlist): New declaration.
* Makefile.in (symmisc.o): Update dependencies.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2003-04-09 Jim Blandy <jimb at redhat dot com>
* gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Document 'maint list symtabs' and 'maint
list psymtabs'.
