How to see the content of a buffer

Hi all,

sorry if the question may appear naive,

I would like to print from gdb the content of a buffer,
either using
the emacs interface or gdb I get the buffer truncated, that
is I get
something of the kind:

$49 = 0xbfa6048f "OPTIONS * RTSP/1.0rnDate: Mon, 14
Apr 2008 13:53:26 GMTrnCSeq: 2rnSupported:
method.announcernrnANNOUNCE * RTSP/1.0rnDate: Mon, 14
Apr 2008 13:53:3"...

which command should I use to see the complete content of
the buffer
(or to see say the buffer from char 0 to char N)?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards.

(gdb) help set print elements
Set limit on string chars or array elements to print.
"set print elements 0" causes there to be no
limit.

Thanks Andreas, it worked fine, I also checked the x command
too
(x/200c data) which is also useful for other purposes.

Many regards.
