To help you read all of it, +<small>GDB</small> pauses and asks you for input at the end of each page of +output. Type <tt class="key">RET</tt> when you want to see one more page of output, +<kbd>q</kbd> to discard the remaining output, or <kbd>c</kbd> to continue +without paging for the rest of the current command. Also, the screen +width setting determines when to wrap lines of output. Depending on +what is being printed, <small>GDB</small> tries to break the line at a +readable place, rather than simply letting it overflow onto the +following line. +</p> +<p>Normally <small>GDB</small> knows the size of the screen from the terminal +driver software. For example, on Unix <small>GDB</small> uses the termcap data base +together with the value of the <code>TERM</code> environment variable and the +<code>stty rows</code> and <code>stty cols</code> settings. If this is not correct, +you can override it with the <code>set height</code> and <code>set +width</code> commands: +</p> +<dl compact="compact"> +<dd><a name="index-set-height"></a> +<a name="index-set-width"></a> +<a name="index-show-width"></a> +<a name="index-show-height"></a> +</dd> +<dt><code>set height <var>lpp</var></code></dt> +<dt><code>set height unlimited</code></dt> +<dt><code>show height</code></dt> +<dt><code>set width <var>cpl</var></code></dt> +<dt><code>set width unlimited</code></dt> +<dt><code>show width</code></dt> +<dd><p>These <code>set</code> commands specify a screen height of <var>lpp</var> lines and +a screen width of <var>cpl</var> characters.

This is useful if output is to a file or to an editor +buffer. +</p> +<p>Likewise, you can specify ‘<samp>set width unlimited</samp>’ or ‘<samp>set +width 0</samp>’ to prevent <small>GDB</small> from wrapping its output. +</p> +</dd> +<dt><code>set pagination on</code></dt> +<dt><code>set pagination off</code></dt> +<dd><a name="index-set-pagination"></a> +<p>Turn the output pagination on or off; the default is on.
