<h2 class="chapter">9 Examining Source Files</h2>
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> can print parts of your program's source, since the debugging
information recorded in the program tells <span class="sc">gdb</span> what source files were
used to build it. When your program stops, <span class="sc">gdb</span> spontaneously prints
the line where it stopped. Likewise, when you select a stack frame
(see <a href="Selection.html#Selection">Selecting a Frame</a>), <span class="sc">gdb</span> prints the line where
execution in that frame has stopped. You can print other portions of
source files by explicit command.
<p>If you use <span class="sc">gdb</span> through its <span class="sc">gnu</span> Emacs interface, you may
prefer to use Emacs facilities to view source; see <a href="Emacs.html#Emacs">Using <span class="sc">gdb</span> under <span class="sc">gnu</span> Emacs</a>.
