How to get the exact location from gdb's "info symbol" command

I am debugging with GDB at work. When I input "info symbol 0xABCD", I get the following result,

sample_function + 123 in section init

I know the EXACT LOCATION is near sample_function(), and have an offset 123, but how do I locate it in the C code? I have not found any resource from internet that talks about this yet. Thanks for any help.

You can do:

(gdb) disas/m 0xABCD

From "help disas":

With a /m modifier, source lines are included (if available).

Alternatively, this command: addr2line -fe /path/to/binary 0xABCD (run outside of GDB) should print source location (if the binary has debug line info).
