<p>Several <span class="sc">gdb</span> commands accept arguments that specify a location
of your program's code. Since <span class="sc">gdb</span> is a source-level
debugger, a location usually specifies some line in the source code.
Locations may be specified using three different formats:
linespec locations, explicit locations, or address locations.
