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.)
