.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is a debugger based on
|
|
.Xr gdb 1
|
|

|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl d Ar crashdir"

Increase the annotation level.

This is useful when running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in Emacs.

The
|

|
|
.Fl fullname

.It Fl w

|
|
used to do in previous
|
|
gdb versions for
|
|
.Fx . )
|
|
.It Fl d Ar crashdir
|
|
Use
|
|
.Ar crashdir
|
|
instead of the default,
|
|
.Pa /var/crash
|
|
to locate kernel core dump files in.
|
|
The name
|
|
.Pa vmcore.
|
|
plus the dump number will be appended to determine
|
|
the actual dump file name.
|
|

|
|
Explicitly use
|
|
.Ar core
|
|
as the core dump file.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar dumpnr

|
|
.Ar dumpnr

|
|
.Pp
|
|
Optionally, the name of the kernel symbol file and
|
|
the name of the core dump file can be supplied on the
|
|
command-line as positional arguments.
|
|
If no kernel symbol file name has been given, the
|
|
symbol file of the currently running kernel will be
|
|
used.
|
|
If no core dump file has been specified through either
|
|
of the options or the last command-line argument,
|
|
.Pa /dev/mem
|
|
will be opened to allow debugging the currently running
|
|
kernel.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /var/crash"
|

|
|
