Displaying machine language statements

To display the machine language statements associated with line 25 in function main, use the command:

   *main:25?

The ? command is similar to the / command except that it searches backwards. The default format for printing text space is the i format, which interprets the machine-language instruction. The control-d command may be used to print the next ten instructions. Absolute addresses may be specified instead of line numbers by appending a : to them, so that the following example displays the contents of address 0x1024 in text space:

   *0x1024:?

The command displays the instruction corresponding to line 0x1024 in the current function:

   *0x1024?

It is also possible to set or delete a breakpoint by specifying its absolute address, so that the following sets a breakpoint at address 0x1024:

   *0x1024:b
