# 1.34 07-Mar-2009 ad

Add crash(8), a utility to diagnose kernel crashes. This is basically
ddb running on crash dumps, but with two notable changes:

- Breakpoints, watches, etc are obviously never going to work so they
are not handled.

- You can pipe output to the shell, e.g. ps | grep foo

Items remaining to be done:

- Port it to architectures other than i386. This isn't difficult, just
a case of making db_disasm.c/db_trace.c or their equivalent compile
and work.

- Make more of the "show" commands work, e.g "show uvmexp".

# 1.26 16-Nov-2001 wiz

Sort sections.


# 1.25 16-Nov-2001 wiz

Whitespace nits


# 1.24 12-Sep-2001 lukem

explicitly set the default compression level to 1 (from the implicit 6),
because it's significantly faster and doesn't use that much more disk space.


# 1.23 12-Sep-2001 lukem

Add "-Z level" to control the compression level that -z uses (which
defaults to -Z 6). Depending on the relative speed of the CPU
versus disk, "-zZ1" might be faster than no compression at all.


# 1.22 20-Aug-2001 wiz

Document more explicitly that the kernel must be `secure' according to
secure_path to be used automatically. (Of course, you can override with the
-N option.)
Addresses bin/13665.


# 1.21 13-Jun-2001 wiz

Note usage of getbootfile(3); sort SEE ALSO section according to
mdoc.samples(7).


# 1.20 05-Jun-2001 wiz

Drop arguments of .Os.


# 1.19 03-Apr-2001 wiz

Xref send-pr 1, not 8. Whitespace fixes while I'm here.


# 1.18 02-Jan-2001 joda

use gzip instead of compress


# 1.17 07-Dec-2000 wiz

Don't mention rc(8), we're using rc.d now.
