Stumbled upon this feature after reading through issues and finding https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap/issues/455. Was wondering how to do it.

This is controlled via a Configuration, which has 3 required fields:

In addition, a Configuration accepts an arbitrary number of further options which are debug-adapter-specific.

You have to refer to the upstream debug adapter documentation to learn about their supported options

What does that even mean? gdb is a command line program. As far as I can tell, it interacts with DAP using stdout/stdin.

There is no adapter documentation. How am I supposed to know that I can add random fields to the dap-configuration (that's your plugin, not GDB) and it will affect things?
