Syntax for List Ranges¶
List ranges are used in the list and disassemble commands.
A list range is in one of the following forms:
location # starting line only first, last # starting and ending line , last # ending line only
A location is described elsewhere. first and last can also be locations but they also may be a number. And finally last can be a (line number) offset.
A number is just a decimal number. An offset is a number prefaced with “+” and indicates the number to increment the line number found in first.
Examples¶
5 # start from line 5 of current file
5 , # Same as above.
, 5 # listsize lines before and up to 5
foo.py:5 # start from line 5 of file foo.py
foo() # start from function foo
os.path:5 # start from line 5 of module os.path
os.path:5 # Same as above.
os.path:5, 6 # list lines 5 and 6 of os.path
os.path:5, +1 # Same as above. +1 is an offset
os.path:5, 1 # Same as above, since 1 < 5.
os.path:5, +6 # lines 5-11
os.path.join() # lines starting with the os.join.path function.
"c:\foo.py":10, # listsize lines starting from line 10 of c:\foo.py
, 'My Doc/foo.py':20 # listsize lines ending at line 20 of file: My Doc/foo.py
