 <p>There are several other commands to print information about the selected
 stack frame.
 </p>
 <dl compact="compact">
 <dt><code>frame</code></dt>
 <dt><code>f</code></dt>
 <dd><p>When used without any argument, this command does not change which
 frame is selected, but prints a brief description of the currently
 selected stack frame.  It can be abbreviated <code>f</code>.  With an
 argument, this command is used to select a stack frame.
 See <a href="Selection.html#Selection">Selecting a Frame</a>.
 </p>
 <a name="index-info-frame"></a>
 <a name="index-info-f-_0028info-frame_0029"></a>
 </dd>
 <dt><code>info frame</code></dt>
 <dt><code>info f</code></dt>
 <dd><p>This command prints a verbose description of the selected stack frame,
 including:
 </p>
 <ul>
 <li> the address of the frame
 </li><li> the address of the next frame down (called by this frame)
 </li><li> the address of the next frame up (caller of this frame)
 </li><li> the language in which the source code corresponding to this frame is written
 </li><li> the address of the frame&rsquo;s arguments
 </li><li> the address of the frame&rsquo;s local variables
 </li><li> the program counter saved in it (the address of execution in the caller frame)
 </li><li> which registers were saved in the frame
 </li></ul>

 <p>The verbose description is useful when
 something has gone wrong that has made the stack format fail to fit
 the usual conventions.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code>info frame <var>addr</var></code></dt>
 <dt><code>info f <var>addr</var></code></dt>
 <dd><p>Print a verbose description of the frame at address <var>addr</var>, without
 selecting that frame.  The selected frame remains unchanged by this
 command.  This requires the same kind of address (more than one for some
 architectures) that you specify in the <code>frame</code> command.
 See <a href="Selection.html#Selection">Selecting a Frame</a>.
 </p>
 <a name="index-info-args"></a>
 </dd>
 <dt><code>info args</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Print the arguments of the selected frame, each on a separate line.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code>info locals</code></dt>
 <dd><a name="index-info-locals"></a>
 <p>Print the local variables of the selected frame, each on a separate
 line.  These are all variables (declared either static or automatic)
 accessible at the point of execution of the selected frame.
