The name or number parameter specify which exception should stop the simulation. The available exceptions depend on the simulated target. Instead of an exception, the -all flag may be given. This will stop the simulation on all exceptions.
If no processor object is specified, the currently selected processor is used.
If -recursive is used, not only the object, but the objects hierarchically below the object will be considered when adding the breakpoint. If timeout is a positive number, the command will run for at most that many seconds of virtual time.
If timeout-rt is a positive number, the command will run for at most that many seconds of real time.
A time-out will be signaled by throwing a CLI exception, which can be captured using try/except in order to take specific action, or to let it pass unhandled.
