Clear all/some breakpoints with gdb commands

Question

I get into situations in gdb/ddd where there are too many breakpoints.

Sometimes I want to disable or remove all of them at once. Sometimes I want to disable or remove all except for one. I find the ddd breakpoints menu confusing and unreliable. How can I do this with a gdb command?

To delete all the breakpoints, use delete command with no arguments; it can be abbreviated to del or d.

To disable all, use disable (with no arguments) to disable all breakpoints.

To disable all but one, use disable (with no arguments), but then do enable N, where N is the index of the breakpoint you want to keep.

Use disable (with no arguments) to disable all breakpoints, followed by enable N, where N is the breakpoint you want to keep.
