+@cindex frame information, printing
+This command allows to control the information printed when
+the debugger prints a frame.  See @ref{Frames} and @ref{Backtrace}
+for a general explanation about frames and frame information.
+Note that some other settings (such as @code{set print frame-arguments}
+and @code{set print address}) are also influencing if and how some frame
+information is displayed.  In particular, the frame program counter is never
+printed if @code{set print address} is off.
+
+The possible values for @code{set print frame-info} are:
+@table @code
+@item short_loc
+Print the frame level, the program counter if not at the
+beginning of the location source line, the function, the function
+arguments.
+@item location
+Same as @code{short_loc} but also print the source file and source line
+number.
+@item loc_and_address
+Same as @code{location} but print the program counter even if located at the
+beginning of the location source line.
+@item src_line
+Print the program counter if not at the beginning of the location
+source line, the line number and the source line.
+@item src_and_loc
+Print what @code{location} and @code{src_line} are printing.
+@item auto
+The information printed for a frame is decided automatically
+by the @value{GDBN} command that prints a frame.
+For example, @code{frame} prints the information printed by
+@code{src_and_loc} while @code{stepi} will switch between
+@code{src_line} and @code{src_and_loc} depending on the program counter.
