Break (set a breakpoint)

break [loc-spec]

Set a breakpoint at loc-spec.

If no location specification is given, use the current line.

Multiple breakpoints at one place are permitted, and useful if conditional.

Examples:

break              # Break where we are current stopped at
break 10           # Break on line 10 of the file we are
                   # currently stopped at
break /etc/profile:10   # Break on line 45 of os.path
