View Commands Mirror Show Commands

The GDB command language contains many set and show commands. These commands are used to modify or examine parameters to the debugger.

It is difficult to get the current state of a parameter from the show command because show is very verbose.

(gdb) show check type
Type checking is "auto; currently off".
(gdb) show width
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 80.

For every show command, libgdb includes a view command. view is like show without the verbose commentary:

(gdb) view check type
auto; currently off
(gdb) view width
80

(The precise format of the ouput from view is subject to change. In particular, view may one-day print values which can be used as arguments to the corresponding set command.)
