Synopsis

step [count]

Run the next statement. This differs from the next command in that if the next statement is a function call, step steps into it and continues single-stepping in the called function. However, next calls the function without stepping into it. With a count, step through count statements. In any case, execution stops upon reaching a breakpoint or receipt of a signal. See also next.
