Step (step into)

step [ + | - [count]

Execute the current line, stopping at the next event.

With an integer argument, step that many times.

You can Set an event, by suffixing one of the symbols +, -, or after the command or on an alias of that. A suffix of + on a command or an alias forces a move to another line, while a suffix of - disables this requirement.

If no suffix is given, the debugger setting different-line determines this behavior.

Examples:

step        # step 1 event, *any* event
step 1      # same as above
step 5/5+0  # same as above
step+
step-
