gdb, set breakpoint on all functions in a file

function gdb breakpoints

Is there a single command in gdb which can set breakpoints on all the functions in a given file ? I know about rbreak regex which sets breakpoints in matching regular expression functions, but my file doesnt have fixed patterned functions.

In another way, is there a command by which I can set a breakpoint on a filename. Which will mean, whenever control gets inside this file, it should break ?

I personally think this should not be much difficult to implement in gdb, but just wondering if somebody has already done this.
