•
Default address—if you do not specify an address, the x command displays
memory following the last address examined, or 0 if no address was previously
examined.

Default format—if you do not specify format, the x command uses the format
specifications (format, size, and number) that you most recently specified with the
x command.
These defaults (the last address examined, and the format specification) are set by a
number of commands—the x command, the info breakpoints command, the info line
command, and the print command when you use it to display memory.
Convenience Variables $_ and $__

command. The convenience variable $_ is automatically set by the x command to the
