Every time I start gdb, the following information is displayed:

GNU gdb (Ubuntu 9.2-0ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.2

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu".
Type "show configuration" for configuration details.
For bug reporting instructions, please see:
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.
Find the GDB manual and other documentation resources online at:
    <http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/>.

For help, type "help". Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word".

I have to enter Enter to proceed. This prevents me from automating gdb script execution. Is there a way to skip the help information?

Yes, add the --silent option (aka -q, -quiet, --quiet, -silent and abbreviations thereof):

$ gdb --silent
