-
- <a name="index-set-style"></a>
- <a name="index-show-style"></a>
- <p><small>GDB</small> can style its output on a capable terminal. This is
- enabled by default on most systems, but disabled by default when in
- batch mode (see <a href="Mode-Options.html#Mode-Options">Mode Options</a>). Various style settings are available;
- and styles can also be disabled entirely.
- </p>
- <dl compact="compact">
- <dt><code>set style enabled ‘<samp>on|off</samp>’</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Enable or disable all styling. The default is host-dependent, with
- most hosts defaulting to ‘<samp>on</samp>’.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>show style enabled</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Show the current state of styling.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>set style sources ‘<samp>on|off</samp>’</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Enable or disable source code styling. This affects whether source
- code, such as the output of the <code>list</code> command, is styled. Note
- that source styling only works if styling in general is enabled, and
- if <small>GDB</small> was linked with the GNU Source Highlight library. The
- default is ‘<samp>on</samp>’.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>show style sources</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Show the current state of source code styling.
- </p></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>Subcommands of <code>set style</code> control specific forms of styling.
- These subcommands all follow the same pattern: each style-able object
- can be styled with a foreground color, a background color, and an
- intensity.
- </p>
- <p>For example, the style of file names can be controlled using the
- <code>set style filename</code> group of commands:
- </p>
- <dl compact="compact">
- <dt><code>set style filename background <var>color</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>Set the background to <var>color</var>. Valid colors are ‘<samp>none</samp>’
- (meaning the terminal’s default color), ‘<samp>black</samp>’, ‘<samp>red</samp>’,
- ‘<samp>green</samp>’, ‘<samp>yellow</samp>’, ‘<samp>blue</samp>’, ‘<samp>magenta</samp>’, ‘<samp>cyan</samp>’,
- and‘<samp>white</samp>’.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>set style filename foreground <var>color</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>Set the foreground to <var>color</var>. Valid colors are ‘<samp>none</samp>’
- (meaning the terminal’s default color), ‘<samp>black</samp>’, ‘<samp>red</samp>’,
- ‘<samp>green</samp>’, ‘<samp>yellow</samp>’, ‘<samp>blue</samp>’, ‘<samp>magenta</samp>’, ‘<samp>cyan</samp>’,
- and‘<samp>white</samp>’.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>set style filename intensity <var>value</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>Set the intensity to <var>value</var>. Valid intensities are ‘<samp>normal</samp>’
- (the default), ‘<samp>bold</samp>’, and ‘<samp>dim</samp>’.
- </p></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>The <code>show style</code> command and its subcommands are styling
- a style name in their output using its own style.
- So, use <code>show style</code> to see the complete list of styles,
- their characteristics and the visual aspect of each style.
- </p>
- <p>The style-able objects are:
- </p><dl compact="compact">
- <dt><code>filename</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of file names. By default, this style’s
- foreground color is green.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>function</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of function names. These are managed with the
- <code>set style function</code> family of commands. By default, this
- style’s foreground color is yellow.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>variable</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of variable names. These are managed with the
- <code>set style variable</code> family of commands. By default, this style’s
- foreground color is cyan.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>address</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of addresses. These are managed with the
- <code>set style address</code> family of commands. By default, this style’s
- foreground color is blue.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>title</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of titles. These are managed with the
- <code>set style title</code> family of commands. By default, this style’s
- intensity is bold. Commands are using the title style to improve
- the readability of large output. For example, the commands
- <code>apropos</code> and <code>help</code> are using the title style
- for the command names.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>highlight</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of highlightings. These are managed with the
- <code>set style highlight</code> family of commands. By default, this style’s
- foreground color is red. Commands are using the highlight style to draw
- the user attention to some specific parts of their output. For example,
- the command <code>apropos -v REGEXP</code> uses the highlight style to
- mark the documentation parts matching <var>regexp</var>.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>tui-border</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of the TUI border. Note that, unlike other
- styling options, only the color of the border can be controlled via
- <code>set style</code>. This was done for compatibility reasons, as TUI
- controls to set the border’s intensity predated the addition of
- general styling to <small>GDB</small>. See <a href="TUI-Configuration.html#TUI-Configuration">TUI Configuration</a>.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>tui-active-border</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Control the styling of the active TUI border; that is, the TUI window
- that has the focus.
- </p>
- </dd>
