The following table lists the XDB and equivalent HP WDB auxiliary breakpoint related
commands:

16.2.2 Breakpoint creation commands
The GDB equivalent of the count and cmds arguments is to use the commandsbnum
command to set an ignore count and/or to specify commands to be executed for that
breakpoint.
For C++ programs, you can use the regular-expression breakpoint command rbreak
to set breakpoints on all the member functions of a class or on overloaded functions
outside a class.
The following table lists the XDB and equivalent HP WDB commands for creating
breakpoints:
