 - <p>It is often necessary to eliminate a breakpoint, watchpoint, or
 - catchpoint once it has done its job and you no longer want your program
 - to stop there.  This is called <em>deleting</em> the breakpoint.  A
 - breakpoint that has been deleted no longer exists; it is forgotten.
 - </p>
 - <p>With the <code>clear</code> command you can delete breakpoints according to
 - where they are in your program.  With the <code>delete</code> command you can
 - delete individual breakpoints, watchpoints, or catchpoints by specifying
 - their breakpoint numbers.
 - </p>
 - <p>It is not necessary to delete a breakpoint to proceed past it.  <small>GDB</small>
 - automatically ignores breakpoints on the first instruction to be executed
 - when you continue execution without changing the execution address.

 - <dt><code>clear</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Delete any breakpoints at the next instruction to be executed in the
 - selected stack frame (see <a href="Selection.html#Selection">Selecting a Frame</a>).  When
 - the innermost frame is selected, this is a good way to delete a
 - breakpoint where your program just stopped.

 - <dt><code>clear <var>location</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Delete any breakpoints set at the specified <var>location</var>.
 - See <a href="Specify-Location.html#Specify-Location">Specify Location</a>, for the various forms of <var>location</var>; the
 - most useful ones are listed below:

 - <dt><code>clear <var>function</var></code></dt>
 - <dt><code>clear <var>filename</var>:<var>function</var></code></dt>

 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>clear <var>linenum</var></code></dt>
 - <dt><code>clear <var>filename</var>:<var>linenum</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Delete any breakpoints set at or within the code of the specified
 - <var>linenum</var> of the specified <var>filename</var>.

 - <dd><p>Delete the breakpoints, watchpoints, or catchpoints of the breakpoint
 - list specified as argument.  If no argument is specified, delete all
 - breakpoints (<small>GDB</small> asks confirmation, unless you have <code>set
 - confirm off</code>).  You can abbreviate this command as <code>d</code>.
