Embryo is primarily a shared library that gives you an api to load and control interpreted programs compiled into an abstract machine bytecode that it understands. this abstract (or virtual) machine is similar to a real machine with a cpu, but it is emulated in software

this package contains unstripped shared libraries. it is provided primarily to provide a backtrace with names in a debugger, this makes it somewhat easier to interpret core dumps. the libraries are installed in /usr/lib/debug and are automatically used by gdb.
