sharedlibrary [<regex>]
Load symbols of shared libs loaded by debugee. Optionally use <regex>
to filter libs for symbol loading.
display [/FMT] <expr>

Set conditional breakpoint (see examples below).
delete [<num>]
Delete breakpoint either all or one referenced by <num>.

Set breakpoints matching <regex>, where matching internally is done
on: .*<regex>.*
command [<bp_list>]
Define commands to run after breakpoint hit. If <bp_list> is not
specified attach command to last created breakpoint. Command block
terminated with 'end' token.
<bp_list>: Space separates list, eg 'command 2 5-8' to run command
for breakpoints: 2,5,6,7,8.
save break <file>
Save breakpoints to <file>. Can be loaded with the `source` command.
