+@subheading The @code{-catch-handlers} Command
+@findex -catch-handlers
+
+@subsubheading Synopsis
+
+@smallexample
+ -catch-handlers [ -c @var{condition}] [ -d ] [ -e @var{exception-name} ]
+ [ -t ]
+@end smallexample
+
+Add a catchpoint stopping when Ada exceptions are handled.
+By default, the command stops the program when any Ada exception
+gets handled. But it is also possible, by using some of the
+optional parameters described below, to create more selective
+catchpoints.
+
+The possible optional parameters for this command are:
+
+@table @samp
+@item -c @var{condition}
+Make the catchpoint conditional on @var{condition}.
+@item -d
+Create a disabled catchpoint.
+@item -e @var{exception-name}
+Only stop when @var{exception-name} is handled.
+@item -t
+Create a temporary catchpoint.
+@end table
+
+@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
+
+The corresponding @value{GDBN} command is @samp{catch handlers}.
+
+@subsubheading Example
+
+@smallexample
