4.4.2.1 Next (‘next’)

next

Continue processing your Makefile until control reaches the next interesting target, then stop and return control to the GNU Make debugger. This command is abbreviated n. If you want more fine-grained stepping use step. See Step. If you want to not stop at any of targets the current target depends on, but instead run until after this target is remade, use finish. See Finish.

next [count]

Continue running as in next, but do so count times. If a breakpoint is reached, or a signal not related to stepping occurs before count steps, stepping stops right away.
