+The @code{frame apply} command allows you to apply the named

+
+@table @code
+@item @code{all}
+Specify @code{all} to apply @var{command} to all frames.
+
+@item @var{count}
+Use @var{count} to apply @var{command} to the innermost @var{count}
+frames, where @var{count} is a positive number.
+
+@item @var{-count}
+Use @var{-count} to apply @var{command} to the outermost @var{count}
+frames, where @var{count} is a positive number.
+
+@item @code{id}
+Use @code{id} to apply @var{command} to the set of frames identified
+by the @var{id} list.  @var{id} is a frame id or a range of frame ids
+as @var{id1}-@var{id2}.  The frame id is the number shown in the first field
+of the @samp{backtrace} command output.
+E.g., @samp{2-4 6-8 3} indicates to apply @var{command} for the frames
+2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and then again on frame 3.
+
+@end table
+
+@end table
+
+Note that the frames on which @code{frame apply} applies a command are
+also influenced by the @code{set backtrace} settings such as @code{set
