Wondering if the preprocessor-post-processor is something like this:

The pre-processor handles/oversee/supervise conversion a high level
language (like C) to low level language (machine language) while the
post-processor supervise conversion from a low-language/low level
file format to a high level language/file format (G-code). Just
wondering if that is how the name post processor got its name. Hope I
am not talking low level gibberish.
