### A Simple Example in C Source

To get the flavor of how stabs describe source information for a C program, let's look at the simple program:

         main()
         {
                 printf("Hello world");
         }

When compiled with `-g`, the program above yields the following `.s` file. Line numbers have been added to make it easier to refer to parts of the `.s` file in the description of the stabs that follows.
