Operation performed:
I right clicked on a trace and clicked on the operation "Add Breaker". As a result, a new entry is added in the Trace window with function=BREAK

Query: What is the use of this operation?
Does it allow the user to debug an Erlang process by setting breakpoint, so that the process stops when the breakpoint is hit. Does it allow user to inspect the variables, once breakpoint is hit. Please clarify.

It appears to be a simple visual "break" from one trace output to another so you can know which group of tracing happened before and after you manually insert the break line. I plan to use this to visually separate tracing from one test case to another when reproducing problems or reverse-engineering our codebase.
