Re: Is it possible to save breakpoints to a file?

[Kris Warkentin <kewarken at qnx dot com>]

Another possiblity is to use the logging abilities and define your own.

define save-breaks
set logging file $arg0
set logging on
info breakpoints
set logging off
end

Unfortunately this doesn't give you something that you can load later so 
you'd have to write a little bit of an awk script to process it into an 
init file.
