### breakpoint

Call breakpoint handler

The breakpoint instruction is used to temporarily overwrite an instruction causing a break to the debugger prior to the effect of the overwritten instruction. The original instruction's operands (if any) are not overwritten, and the original instruction can be restored when the breakpoint instruction is removed.
