 - <h3 class="section">9.1 Printing Source Lines</h3>
 - 
 - <a name="index-list"></a>
 - <a name="index-l-_0028list_0029"></a>
 - <p>To print lines from a source file, use the <code>list</code> command
 - (abbreviated <code>l</code>).  By default, ten lines are printed.
 - There are several ways to specify what part of the file you want to
 - print; see <a href="Specify-Location.html#Specify-Location">Specify Location</a>, for the full list.
 - </p>
 - <p>Here are the forms of the <code>list</code> command most commonly used:
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><code>list <var>linenum</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines centered around line number <var>linenum</var> in the
 - current source file.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list <var>function</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines centered around the beginning of function
 - <var>function</var>.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print more lines.  If the last lines printed were printed with a
 - <code>list</code> command, this prints lines following the last lines
 - printed; however, if the last line printed was a solitary line printed
 - as part of displaying a stack frame (see <a href="Stack.html#Stack">Examining the
 - Stack</a>), this prints lines centered around that line.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list -</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines just before the lines last printed.
 - </p></dd>
 - </dl>
 - 
 - <a name="index-list_002c-how-many-lines-to-display"></a>
 - <p>By default, <small>GDB</small> prints ten source lines with any of these forms of
 - the <code>list</code> command.  You can change this using <code>set listsize</code>:
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dd><a name="index-set-listsize"></a>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>set listsize <var>count</var></code></dt>
 - <dt><code>set listsize unlimited</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Make the <code>list</code> command display <var>count</var> source lines (unless
 - the <code>list</code> argument explicitly specifies some other number).
 - Setting <var>count</var> to <code>unlimited</code> or 0 means there’s no limit.
 - </p>
 - <a name="index-show-listsize"></a>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>show listsize</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Display the number of lines that <code>list</code> prints.
 - </p></dd>
 - </dl>
 - 
 - <p>Repeating a <code>list</code> command with <tt class="key">RET</tt> discards the argument,
 - so it is equivalent to typing just <code>list</code>.  This is more useful
 - than listing the same lines again.  An exception is made for an
 - argument of ‘<samp>-</samp>’; that argument is preserved in repetition so that
 - each repetition moves up in the source file.
 - </p>
 - <p>In general, the <code>list</code> command expects you to supply zero, one or two
 - <em>locations</em>.  Locations specify source lines; there are several ways
 - of writing them (see <a href="Specify-Location.html#Specify-Location">Specify Location</a>), but the effect is always
 - to specify some source line.
 - </p>
 - <p>Here is a complete description of the possible arguments for <code>list</code>:
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><code>list <var>location</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines centered around the line specified by <var>location</var>.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list <var>first</var>,<var>last</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines from <var>first</var> to <var>last</var>.  Both arguments are
 - locations.  When a <code>list</code> command has two locations, and the
 - source file of the second location is omitted, this refers to
 - the same source file as the first location.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list ,<var>last</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines ending with <var>last</var>.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list <var>first</var>,</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines starting with <var>first</var>.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list +</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines just after the lines last printed.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list -</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Print lines just before the lines last printed.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>list</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>As described in the preceding table.
 - </p></dd>
