+@item watch @r{[}-l@r{|}-location@r{]} @var{expr} @r{[}thread @var{threadnum}@r{]} @r{[}mask @var{maskvalue}@r{]}
Set a watchpoint for an expression. @value{GDBN} will break when the
expression @var{expr} is written into by the program and its value
changes. The simplest (and the most popular) use of this command is
@end smallexample
If the command includes a @code{@r{[}thread @var{threadnum}@r{]}}
-clause, @value{GDBN} breaks only when the thread identified by
+argument, @value{GDBN} breaks only when the thread identified by
@var{threadnum} changes the value of @var{expr}. If any other threads
change the value of @var{expr}, @value{GDBN} will not break. Note
that watchpoints restricted to a single thread in this way only work
result does not have an address, then @value{GDBN} will print an
error.
+The @code{@r{[}mask @var{maskvalue}@r{]}} argument allows creation
+of masked watchpoints, if the current architecture supports this
+feature (e.g., PowerPC Embedded architecture, see @ref{PowerPC
+Embedded}.) A @dfn{masked watchpoint} specifies a mask in addition
+to an address to watch. The mask specifies that some bits of an address
+(the bits which are reset in the mask) should be ignored when matching
+the address accessed by the inferior against the watchpoint address.
+Thus, a masked watchpoint watches many addresses simultaneously---those
+addresses whose unmasked bits are identical to the unmasked bits in the
+watchpoint address. The @code{mask} argument implies @code{-location}.
