  21    <p>When GDB is told to display something using the <code>display</code> command,
  22 the results of the display are annotated:
  23
  24 <pre class="smallexample">     ^Z^Zdisplay-begin
  25      <var>number</var>
  26      ^Z^Zdisplay-number-end
  27      <var>number-separator</var>
  28      ^Z^Zdisplay-format
  29      <var>format</var>
  30      ^Z^Zdisplay-expression
  31      <var>expression</var>
  32      ^Z^Zdisplay-expression-end
  33      <var>expression-separator</var>
  34      ^Z^Zdisplay-value
  35      <var>value</var>
  36      ^Z^Zdisplay-end
  37      </pre>
  38
  39 <p>where <var>number</var> is the number of the display, <var>number-separator</var>
  40 is intended to separate the number from what follows for the user,
  41 <var>format</var> includes information such as the size, format, or other
  42 information about how the value is being displayed, <var>expression</var> is
  43 the expression being displayed, <var>expression-separator</var> is intended
  44 to separate the expression from the text that follows for the user,
  45 and <var>value</var> is the actual value being displayed.
