Here is an example of the result when there are no breakpoints:
(gdb)
-break-list
^done,BreakpointTable={nr_rows="0",nr_cols="6",

{width="14",alignment="-1",col_name="type",colhdr="Type"},

{width="10",alignment="-1",col_name="addr",colhdr="Address"},
{width="40",alignment="2",col_name="what",colhdr="What"}],

The -break-watch command
Synopsis
-break-watch [ -a | -r ]
Create a watchpoint. With the '-a' option it will create an access watchpoint, that is a
watchpoint that triggers either on a read from or on a write to the memory location.
With the '-r' option, the watchpoint created is a read watchpoint, that is it will trigger
only when the memory location is accessed for reading. Without either of the options,
the watchpoint created is a regular watchpoint, that is it will trigger when the memory
location is accessed for writing. See “Enhanced support for watchpoints and
breakpoints” (page 208).
Note that '-break-list' will report a single list of watchpoints and breakpoints
inserted.
GDB command
The corresponding GDB commands are 'watch', 'awatch', and 'rwatch'.
Example
Setting a watchpoint on a variable in the main function:
(gdb)
-break-watch i
^done,wpt=number="2",exp="i"
