 The @code{add-symbol-file} command reads additional symbol table information
 from the file @var{filename}.  You would use this command when @var{filename}
 has been dynamically loaded (by some other means) into the program that
 is running.  @var{address} should be the memory address at which the
 file has been loaded; @value{GDBN} cannot figure this out for itself.
-You can specify @var{address} as an expression.
+You can specify up to three addresses, in which case they are taken to be
+the addresses of the text, data, and bss segments respectively.
+For complicated cases, you can specify an arbitrary number of @r{-T}@var{section} @var{address}
+pairs, to give an explicit section name and base address for that section.
+You can specify any @var{address} as an expression.
 
 The symbol table of the file @var{filename} is added to the symbol table
 originally read with the @code{symbol-file} command.  You can use the
