@findex gdb.lookup_symbol
-@defun lookup_symbol name [block] [domain]
+@defun lookup_symbol name @r{[}block@r{]} @r{[}domain@r{]}
This function searches for a symbol by name. The search scope can be
restricted to the parameters defined in the optional domain and block
arguments.
@var{name} is the name of the symbol. It must be a string. The
optional @var{block} argument restricts the search to symbols visible
in that @var{block}. The @var{block} argument must be a
-@code{gdb.Block} object. The optional @var{domain} argument restricts
+@code{gdb.Block} object. If omitted, the block for the current frame
+is used. The optional @var{domain} argument restricts
the search to the domain type. The @var{domain} argument must be a
domain constant defined in the @code{gdb} module and described later
in this chapter.
+
+The result is a tuple of two elements.
+The first element is a @code{gdb.Symbol} object or @code{None} if the symbol
+is not found.
+If the symbol is found, the second element is @code{True} if the symbol
+is a field of a method's object (e.g., @code{this} in @code{C++}),
+otherwise it is @code{False}.
+If the symbol is not found, the second element is @code{False}.

+@defun lookup_global_symbol name @r{[}domain@r{]}
+This function searches for a global symbol by name.
+The search scope can be restricted to by the domain argument.
+
+@var{name} is the name of the symbol. It must be a string.
+The optional @var{domain} argument restricts the search to the domain type.
+The @var{domain} argument must be a domain constant defined in the @code{gdb}
+module and described later in this chapter.
+
+The result is a @code{gdb.Symbol} object or @code{None} if the symbol
+is not found.
@end defun
A @code{gdb.Symbol} object has the following attributes:
A tuple with 2 elements is always returned. The first is the symbol
object or None, the second is a boolean with the value of
is_a_field_of_this (see comment in lookup_symbol_in_language). */
