.Xr loader 8
variables:
.Bl -tag -width "indent"
.It Va net.netdump.debug
Control debug message verbosity.
Debug messages are disabled by default, but are useful when troubleshooting
or when developing driver support.
.It Va net.netdump.path
Specify a path relative to the server's dump directory in which to store
the dump.
For example, if the
.Nm
server is configured to store dumps in
.Pa /var/crash ,
a path of
.Dq foo
will cause the server to attempt to store dumps from the client in
.Pa /var/crash/foo .
The server will not automatically create the relative directory.
