set height (gdb mode only)

Syntax

set height [num]  

Parameters

Description

This command sets the height of the screen to num lines high.

This command only applies when you are using the debugger in command-line mode. It has no effect when you are using the Console window in the GUI.

Screen height determines how many lines of output the debugger prints without pausing. When the debugger prints a large amount of output, the output may scroll out of site. You can use this command to set the number of lines of output that the debugger prints at one time.

After printing num lines of output, the debugger pauses. To continue printing output, press Enter. If you do not specify num, the debugger uses the default value 0, which prints all output without pausing.

You can also specify how many columns the debugger prints before wrapping its output using set width.

To show the current height, use show height.

Example

(idb) set height 10
(idb) show height
Number of lines idb thinks are in a page is 10
(idb) set height 0  
(idb) show height
Number of lines idb thinks are in a page is 0
