Linux – How to print the last received signal in GDB

coredumpdebugginggdblinux

when loading a core dump into GDB the reason why it crashed automatically is displayed. For example

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Is there any way to get the information again?
The thing is, that I'm writing a script which needs this information. But if the signal is only available after loading the core dump amd I can't access the information later on.

Is there really no command for such an important feature?

To print the information about the last signal execute

p $_siginfo

set print elements 0

From the GDB manual:

set print elements number-of-elements

Set a limit on how many elements of an array GDB will print. If GDB is printing a large array, it stops printing after it has printed the number of elements set by the set print elements command. This limit also applies to the display of strings. When GDB starts, this limit is set to 200. Setting number-of-elements to zero means that the printing is unlimited.
