<para>The &man.ddb.4; kernel debugger now has an output capture
|
||||
facility. Input and output from &man.ddb.4; can now be captured
|
||||
to a memory buffer for later inspection using &man.sysctl.8; or
|
||||
a textdump. The new <command>capture</command> command controls
|
||||
this feature.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The &man.ddb.4; debugger now supports a simple scripting
|
||||
facility, which supports a set of named scripts consisting of a
|
||||
set of &man.ddb.4; commands. These commands can be managed from
|
||||
within &man.ddb.4; or with the use of the new &man.ddb.8;
|
||||
utility. More details can be found in the &man.ddb.4; manual
|
||||
page.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The kernel now supports a new textdump format of kernel
|
||||
dumps. A textdump provides higher-level information via
|
||||
mechanically generated/extracted debugging output, rather than a
|
||||
simple memory dump. This facility can be used to generate brief
|
||||
kernel bug reports that are rich in debugging information, but
|
||||
are not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely
|
||||
synchronized source code. More information can be found in the
|
||||
&man.textdump.4; manual page.</para>
