|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is used to examine and debug system images.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If run without any arguments,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operates on the running system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xpalidocious
|
|
.It Fl M Ar core
|
|
Operate on the specified crash dump instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /dev/mem .
|
|
Crash dumps should be from the same version of the system and same machine
|
|
architecture as the running version of
|
|
.Nm crash ,
|
|
and must be uncompressed.
|
|
.It Fl N Ar kernel
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified kernel instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /dev/ksyms .
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Enable writing.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command syntax used by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the same as the in-kernel debugger.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr ddb 4
|
|
manual page for more information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Operations and facilities that require a running system, such as breakpoints,
|
|
are not supported by
|
|
.Nm crash .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not provide pagination.
|
|
However, by using the pipe symbol, output may be sent to commands available
|
|
from the shell.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset abcd
|
|
crash\*[Gt] ps | more
|
|
crash\*[Gt] ps | grep ioflush
|
|
.Ed
