$showbreakaddrs 0 If nonzero, show the address of each

breakpoint placed in the code each time it is

placed. Removal of the breakpoints is not

shown. If multiple breakpoints are placed at

one location, only one of the placements is

shown. Since breakpoints are frequently

placed and removed by dbx, the volume of

output can be annoying when tracing.

$stacktracelimit Limits to the depth of the stack trace.

$stepintoall 0 If 0, step steps into only those procedures that

are compiled with the debugging option-g.

step steps over all other procedures.

If 1 or 2, step steps into all procedures. Note

that when you debug a source ﬁle compiled

without symbols or compiled with

optimization, the line numbers may

sometimes jump erratically.

Also note that if dbx cannot locate a source ﬁle,

then it cannot display source lines as you step

through a procedure.

$tagﬁle tags The name of a ﬁle of tags, as created by

ctags(1). Used by the tag command.
