 Another command that can give you extra information about program sections
 is @code{maint info sections}.  In addition to the section information
 displayed by @code{info files}, this command displays the flags and file
-offset of each section in the executable and core dump files.  In addition,
-@code{maint info sections} provides the following command options (which
-may be arbitrarily combined):
-
-@table @code
-@item ALLOBJ
-Display sections for all loaded object files, including shared libraries.
-@item @var{sections}
-Display info only for named @var{sections}.
-@item @var{section-flags}
-Display info only for sections for which @var{section-flags} are true.
-The section flags that @value{GDBN} currently knows about are:
+offset of each section in the executable and core dump files.
+
+When @samp{-all-objects} is passed then sections from all loaded object
+files, including shared libraries, are printed.
+
+The optional @var{filter-list} is a space separated list of filter
+keywords.  Sections that match any one of the filter criteria will be
+printed.  There are two types of filter:
+
+@table @code
+@item @var{section-name}
+Display information about any section named @var{section-name}.
+@item @var{section-flag}
+Display information for any section with @var{section-flag}.  The
+section flags that @value{GDBN} currently knows about are:
 @table @code
 @item ALLOC
 Section will have space allocated in the process when loaded.
