During the last couple of years working on Rust programs I collected a number of GDB scripts. Eventually, they evolved into the project. Also, I wrote an article about how I came up with each of the scripts https://alexmarkov.x

I fail to see the reference to be honest. I remember the term from OpenGL, when I rendered something to a framebuffer (actually its attachmets) and then applied to the current framebuffer. It helped me to do effects like night vision. Do
