.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm crashinfo
|
|
.Nd "analyze a core dump of the operating system"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl d Ar crashdir
|
|
.Op Fl n Ar dumpnr
|
|
.Op Fl k Ar kernel
|
|
.Op Ar core
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility analyzes a core dump saved by
|
|
.Xr savecore 8 .
|
|
It generates a text file containing the analysis in the same directory as
|
|
the core dump.
|
|
For a given core dump file named
|
|
.Pa vmcore.XX
|
|
the generated text file will be named
|
|
.Pa core.txt.XX .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
analyzes the most recent core dump in the core dump directory.
|
|
A specific core dump may be specified via either the
|
|
.Ar core
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar dumpnr
|
|
arguments.
|
|
Once
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has located a core dump,
|
|
it analyzes the core dump to determine the exact version of the kernel
|
|
that generated the core.
|
|
It then looks for a matching kernel file under each of the subdirectories in
|
|
.Pa /boot .
|
|
The location of the kernel file can also be explicitly provided via the
|
|
.Ar kernel
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has located a core dump and kernel,
|
|
it uses several utilities to analyze the core including
|
|
.Xr dmesg 8 ,
|
|
.Xr fstat 1 ,
|
|
.Xr iostat 8 ,
|
|
.Xr ipcs 1 ,
|
|
.Xr kgdb 1 ,
|
|
.Xr netstat 1 ,
|
|
.Xr nfsstat 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ps 1 ,
|
|
.Xr pstat 8 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr vmstat 8 .
|
|
Note that kgdb must be installed from the devel/gdb port or gdb package.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Run in batch mode.
|
|
Write most messages to the
|
|
.Pa core.txt.XX
|
|
file instead of the terminal.
|
|
This flag is used when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is run during boot.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar crashdir
|
|
Specify an alternate core dump directory.
|
|
The default crash dump directory is
|
|
.Pa /var/crash .
|
|
.It Fl n Ar dumpnr
|
|
Use the core dump saved in
|
|
.Pa vmcore. Ns Ar dumpnr
|
|
instead of the latest core in the core dump directory.
|
|
.It Fl k Ar kernel
|
|
Specify an explicit kernel file.
