### 27.18 GDB/MI Symbol Query Commands

#### The `-symbol-info-functions` Command

#### Synopsis

     -symbol-info-functions [--include-nondebug]
                            [--type type_regexp]
                            [--name name_regexp]
                            [--max-results limit]

Return a list containing the names and types for all global functions taken from the debug information. The functions are grouped by source file, and shown with the line number on which each function is defined.

The `--include-nondebug` option causes the output to include code symbols from the symbol table.

The options `--type` and `--name` allow the symbols returned to be filtered based on either the name of the function, or the type signature of the function.

The option `--max-results` restricts the command to return no more than limit results. If exactly limit results are returned then there might be additional results available if a higher limit is used.

#### GDB Command

The corresponding GDB command is ‘`info functions`’.

#### Example

#### The `-symbol-info-modules` Command

#### Synopsis

     -symbol-info-modules [--name name_regexp]
                          [--max-results limit]

Return a list containing the names of all known Fortran modules. The modules are grouped by source file, and shown with the line number on which each modules is defined.

#### The `-symbol-info-types` Command

#### Synopsis

     -symbol-info-types [--name name_regexp]
                        [--max-results limit]

Return a list of all defined types. The types are grouped by source file, and shown with the line number on which each user defined type is defined. Some base types are not defined in the source code but are added to the debug information by the compiler, for example `int`, `float`, etc.; these types do not have an associated line number.

The option `--name` allows the list of types returned to be filtered by name.

The option `--max-results` restricts the command to return no more than limit results. If exactly limit results are returned then there might be additional results available if a higher limit is used.

#### GDB Command

The corresponding GDB command is ‘`info types`’.

#### The `-symbol-info-variables` Command

#### Synopsis

     -symbol-info-variables [--include-nondebug]
                            [--type type_regexp]
                            [--name name_regexp]
                            [--max-results limit]

Return a list containing the names and types for all global variables taken from the debug information. The variables are grouped by source file, and shown with the line number on which each variable is defined.

The `--include-nondebug` option causes the output to include data symbols from the symbol table.

The options `--type` and `--name` allow the symbols returned to be filtered based on either the name of the variable, or the type of the variable.

The option `--max-results` restricts the command to return no more than limit results. If exactly limit results are returned then there might be additional results available if a higher limit is used.

#### GDB Command

The corresponding GDB command is ‘`info variables`’.
