  Similar thing is available within radare2 [1] too, it is available as a small library for different languages and called r2pipe [2].

  I didn't understand the example in the README. There is no "main" in those lines, so why did grep output them?

  nice and easy ! I remember that the piping functionality was discussed in GDB mailing list long ago, but I guess it never got accepted!

  it would have allowed writing

      (gdb) disas | grep mov
  

  instead of

      (gdb) shell-pipe disas | grep mov
