+The `-var-create' Command
+-------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+........
+
+ -var-create {NAME | '-'}
+ {FRAME-ADDR | '*' | '@'} EXPRESSION
+
+ This operation creates a variable object, which allows the
+monitoring of a variable, the result of an expression, a memory cell or
+a CPU register.
+
+ The NAME parameter is the string by which the object can be
+referenced. It must be unique. If `-' is specified, the varobj system
+will generate a string 'varNNNNNN' automatically. It will be unique
+provided that one does not specify NAME of that format. The command
+fails if a duplicate name is found.
+
+ The frame under which the expression should be evaluated can be
+specified by FRAME-ADDR. A `*' indicates that the current frame should
+be used. A `@' indicates that a floating variable object must be
+created.
+
+ EXPRESSION is any expression valid on the current language set (must
+not begin with a `*'), or one of the following:
+
+ * `*ADDR', where ADDR is the address of a memory cell
+
+ * `*ADDR-ADDR' -- a memory address range (TBD)
+
+ * `$REGNAME' -- a CPU register name
+
+ A varobj's contents may be provided by a Python-based
+pretty-printer. In this case the varobj is known as a 'dynamic
+varobj'. Dynamic varobjs have slightly different semantics in some
+cases. If the `-enable-pretty-printing' command is not sent, then {No
+value for `GDBN'} will never create a dynamic varobj. This ensures
+backward compatibility for existing clients.
+
+Result
+......
+
+This operation returns attributes of the newly-created varobj. These
+are:
+
+`name'
+ The name of the varobj.
+
+`numchild'
+ The number of children of the varobj. This number is not
+ necessarily reliable for a dynamic varobj. Instead, you must
+ examine the `has_more' attribute.
+
+`value'
+ The varobj's scalar value. For a varobj whose type is some sort of
+ aggregate (e.g., a `struct'), or for a dynamic varobj, this value
+ will not be interesting.
+
+`type'
+ The varobj's type. This is a string representation of the type, as
+ would be printed by the {No value for `GDBN'} CLI. If `print
+ object' (*note set print object: Print Settings.) is set to `on',
+ the _actual_ (derived) type of the object is shown rather than the
+ _declared_ one.
+
+`thread-id'
+ If a variable object is bound to a specific thread, then this is
+ the thread's identifier.
+
+`has_more'
+ For a dynamic varobj, this indicates whether there appear to be any
+ children available. For a non-dynamic varobj, this will be 0.
+
+`dynamic'
+ This attribute will be present and have the value `1' if the
+ varobj is a dynamic varobj. If the varobj is not a dynamic varobj,
+ then this attribute will not be present.
+
+`displayhint'
+ A dynamic varobj can supply a display hint to the front end. The
+ value comes directly from the Python pretty-printer object's
+ `display_hint' method. *Note Pretty Printing API::.
+
+ Typical output will look like this:
+
+ name='NAME',numchild='N',type='TYPE',thread-id='M',
+ has_more='HAS_MORE'
