NAME

       vmcore-dmesg - This is just a placeholder until real man page has been written

SYNOPSIS

       vmcore-dmesg  vmcore

DESCRIPTION

       vmcore-dmesg extracts the dmesg from a vmcore and write it to standard out.  vmcore-dmesg works against either /proc/vmcore in a crash dump
       capture context or a copy of /proc/vmcore that has been saved for later analysis.  A single build of vmcore-dmesg should work  against  any
       linux vmcore written created on any architecture.

NAME

     crashinfo -- analyze a core dump of the operating system

SYNOPSIS

     crashinfo [-d crashdir] [-n dumpnr] [-k kernel] [core]

DESCRIPTION

     The crashinfo utility analyzes a core dump saved by 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 vmcore.XX the generated text file will be named core.txt.XX.

     By default, crashinfo analyzes the most recent core dump in the core dump directory.  A specific core dump may be specified via either the
     core or dumpnr arguments.	Once crashinfo 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 /boot.  The location of the kernel
     file can also be explicitly provided via the kernel argument.

     Once crashinfo has located a core dump and kernel, it uses several utilities to analyze the core including dmesg(8), fstat(1), iostat(8),
     ipcs(1), kgdb(1), netstat(1), nfsstat(1), ps(1), pstat(8), and vmstat(8).

     The options are as follows:

     -d crashdir
	     Specify an alternate core dump directory.	The default crash dump directory is /var/crash.

     -n dumpnr
	     Use the core dump saved in vmcore.dumpnr instead of the latest core in the core dump directory.

     -k kernel
	     Specify an explicit kernel file.

HISTORY

     The crashinfo utility appeared in FreeBSD 6.4.
