NAME

       cr_perror - print a libcrash error or warning message

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       prints  to standard error an error or warning message corresponding to error, which should be the return value from an immediately previous
       call to one of the libcrash calls.  The message describes the problem that occurred, explains its implications when appropriate, and  gives
       corrective action where appropriate.

       If  called with a zero error value, indicating success, prints nothing.	Therefore, it can be called after each libcrash call without harm.
       (If called after with the flag set, repeated error messages may result.)

       crash_cb should be the same crash dump descriptor as was passed to the call that returned error.  If the  call  was  pass  the  crash  dump
       descriptor returned by that call, even if it is NULL.

       If  error  is indicating that the system variable contains the error information, will refer to to print the appropriate message.  In these
       cases it is critical that be called immediately after the offending libcrash call returns.

NAME

       cr_open() - open crash dump for reading

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The library call opens a crash dump and passes back a crash dump descriptor.

       The path argument points to a path name naming a crash dump directory or file, and must not exceed bytes in length.

       The CRASH * to which crash_cb points is set to a crash dump descriptor, which can then be passed to the other functions to access the crash
       dump.

       flags is a bitmask of zero or more of the following flag values, which affect the operation of future calls to libcrash routines  for  this
       crash dump, except for cr_verify(3), which has its own flags parameter.

       The library will not attempt to verify checksums of files in the crash
			     dump if this flag is set.

       The library will write messages to stderr during time-consuming operations
			     (decompressions and checksums) if this flag is set.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero for success.  Other possible return values are described in libcrash(5).

EXAMPLES

       The following call to opens crash dump contained in the directory and returns the crash dump descriptor For an example of reading the crash
       dump see the cr_read(3) manual entry.
