@end smallexample
+@subheading The @code{-list-features} Command
+@findex -list-features
+
+Returns a list of particular features of the MI protocol that
+this version of gdb implements. A feature can be a command,
+or a new field in an output of some command, or even an
+important bugfix. While a frontend can sometimes detect presence
+of a feature at runtime, it is easier to perform detection at debugger
+startup.
+
+The command returns a list of strings, with each string naming an
+available feature. Each returned string is just a name, it does not
+have any internal structure. The list of possible feature names
+is given below.
+
+Example output:
+
+@smallexample
+(gdb) -list-features
+^done,result=["feature1","feature2"]
+@end smallexample
+
+The current list of features is:
+
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+@samp{frozen-varobjs}---indicates presence of the
+@code{-var-set-frozen} command, as well as possible presense of the
+@code{frozen} field in the output of @code{-varobj-create}.
+@end itemize
