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

+# Commentary:
+
+# This is a set of gdb macros for recovering the contents of buffers from
+# an Emacs coredump; they may not always be file-backed or have a recent
+# autosave.
+#
+# The Emacs executable must have debugging symbols for this to work.  But
+# you never strip Emacs, right?  Right!
+#
+# The main commands of interest are `ybuffer-list', `yfile-buffers',
+# `ysave-buffer', and `ybuffer-contents'.  The `y' prefix avoids any
+# namespace collisions with emacs/src/.gdbinit.
+
+# Example usage:
+#
+#     $ gdb /export/src/emacs/2005-05-02--03-17/src/emacs core.emacs.6.9845
+#     Current directory is /u/noah/
