1 # emacs-buffer.gdb --- gdb macros for recovering buffers from emacs coredumps

6 # Status: Works with Emacs 22.0.51.1 (prerelease) as of 2006-01-12.
7 # Older cvs snapshots, and released versions, will not work due to
8 # changes in lisp data structures. But there are older versions of
9 # this gdb script which work with those versions.

36 # The main commands of interest are `ybuffer-list', `yfile-buffers',
37 # `ysave-buffer', and `ybuffer-contents'. The `y' prefix avoids any
38 # namespace collisions with emacs/src/.gdbinit.

135 to some other emacs-buffer recovery commands, e.g. `ysave-buffer'.
139 set $yfile_buffers_only = 1
