Description

This command sets a breakpoint.

Whenever the program execution hits a breakpoint, the debugger suspends execution and waits for a command.

You can set a breakpoint at the entry of a particular function or at a source code line.

If you do not specify any parameters, the debugger sets the breakpoint at the next instruction to be executed.
