% Modifications made in order to handle different papersizes correctly.
|
|
% You only have to set the total width and height of the paper, the
|
|
% horizontal and vertical margin space measured from *paper edge*
|
|
% and the interline and interspec spacing.
|
|
% In order to support a new papersize, you have to fiddle with the
|
|
% latter four dimensions. Just try out a few values.
|
|
% All other values will be computed at process time so it should be
|
|
% quite easy to support different paper sizes - only four values to
|
|
% guess :-)
|
|
%
|
|
% To find the configuration places, just search for the string
|
|
% "CONFIGURATION".

% Uncomment the following `magnification' command if you want to print
|
|
% out in a larger font. Caution! You may need larger paper. You had
|
|
% best avoid using 3-column output if you try this. See the ``Three

|
% column format'' section below if you want to print in three column
|

% NOTE ON INTENTIONAL OMISSIONS: This reference card includes most GDB
|
|
% commands, but due to space constraints there are some things I chose
|
|
% to omit. In general, not all synonyms for commands are covered, nor
|
|
% all variations of a command.
|
|
% The GDB-under-Emacs section omits gdb-mode functions without default
|
|
% keybindings. GDB startup options are not described.
|
|
% set print sevenbit-strings, set symbol-reloading omitted.
|
|
% printsyms, printpsyms, omitted since they're for GDB maintenance primarily
|
|
% share omitted due to obsolescence
|
|
% set check range/type omitted at least til code is in GDB.
