<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&rsquo;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 &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;; 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>
