gdb command to find arguments

Is there a gdb command to find the location of the arguments of a function? I am debugging a function fun1 that takes as input a string that I enter in stdin. However, I can't find the location where this string is stored. Should the first argument always be stored in $ebp+8?

You can see the location of a variable using "info address". This will try to print the location in a user-friendly way. If you know DWARF you can use "maint set dwarf2 always-disassemble 1" to have it dump the DWARF disassembly.
