A single source line can be specified in the following ways:
number Specifies line number of the current source file. When a list command has
two linespecs, this refers to the same source file as the first linespec.
+offset Specifies the line offset lines after the last line printed. When used as the second
linespec in a list command that has two, this specifies the line offset lines down
from the first linespec.
-offset Specifies the line offset lines before the last line printed.
filename :number
Specifies line number in the source file filename.
function Specifies the line that begins the body of the function function. For example:

filename :function
Specifies the line of the open-brace that begins the body of the function function
in the file filename. You only need the file name with a function name to avoid
ambiguity when there are identically named functions in different source files.
*address Specifies the line containing the program address address. address may be any
expression.
7.2 Searching source files

forward-search regexp
search regexp
The command ‘forward-search regexp ’ checks each line, starting with one of
the following in the last line listed, for a match of the regexp. It lists the line
that is found. You can use the synonym ‘search regexp ’ or abbreviate the
command name as fo.
