| You may want to save the output of <span class="sc">gdb</span> commands to a file. |
| There are several commands to control <span class="sc">gdb</span>'s logging. |

| <dl><dt><code>set logging on</code><dd>Enable logging. |
| <br><dt><code>set logging off</code><dd>Disable logging. |
| <a name="index-logging-file-name-75"></a><br><dt><code>set logging file </code><var>file</var><dd>Change the name of the current logfile. The default logfile is <samp><span class="file">gdb.txt</span></samp>. |
| <br><dt><code>set logging overwrite [on|off]</code><dd>By default, <span class="sc">gdb</span> will append to the logfile. Set <code>overwrite</code> if |
| you want <code>set logging on</code> to overwrite the logfile instead. |
| <br><dt><code>set logging redirect [on|off]</code><dd>By default, <span class="sc">gdb</span> output will go to both the terminal and the logfile. |
| Set <code>redirect</code> if you want output to go only to the log file. |
