@item show debug remote
Displays the state of display of remote packets.
+@item set debug remote-packet-max-chars
+Sets the maximum number of characters to display for each remote packet when
+@code{set debug remote} is on. This is useful to prevent @value{GDBN} from
+displaying lengthy remote packets and polluting the console.
+
+The default value is @code{512}, which means @value{GDBN} will truncate each
+remote packet after 512 bytes.
+
+Setting this option to @code{unlimited} will disable truncation and will output
+the full length of the remote packets.
+@item show debug remote-packet-max-chars
+Displays the number of bytes to output for remote packet debugging.

Turns on or off display of debug output about separate debug file search.
