Just Like it sounds it's a breaker plus a GFCI. I personally don't care to have the two functions in combination. When they trip you have no idea why. It was either a heart stopping ground fault event or massive overcurrent.
When they are separated you have an idea right off what the problem might be.

Here's a dumb question. A GFCI breaker is different than a GFCI outlet, I'm guessing.
