25 # This is a set of gdb macros for recovering the contents of buffers from
26 # an Emacs coredump; they may not always be file-backed or have a recent
29 # The Emacs executable must have debugging symbols for this to work.
30 # But you never strip Emacs, right?
32 # The main commands of interest are 'ybuffer-list', 'yfile-buffers',
33 # 'ysave-buffer', and 'ybuffer-contents'. The 'y' prefix avoids any
34 # namespace collisions with emacs/src/.gdbinit.
36 # Since the internal data structures in Emacs change from time to
37 # time, you should use the version of this file that came with your
38 # particular Emacs version; older versions might not work anymore.

132 to some other emacs-buffer recovery commands, e.g. 'ysave-buffer'.
