"""
ignore bpnumber [count]

    Sets the ignore count for the given breakpoint number. If count is
omitted, the ignore count is set to 0. A breakpoint becomes active when
the ignore count is zero. When non-zero, the count is decremented each
time the breakpoint is reached and the breakpoint is not disabled and
any associated condition evaluates to true.

"""
condition bpnumber [condition]

    Condition is an expression which must evaluate to true before the
breakpoint is honored. If condition is absent, any existing condition is
removed; i.e., the breakpoint is made unconditional.
