       postmort - perform post-mortem on PC Minix core files

SYNOPSIS

       -c     Use the named corefile

       -d     Dump all text symbols and segment data

EXAMPLES
       postmort 	   # display the data from the file 'core'

DESCRIPTION
       Postmort  does  a simple static analysis of a PC Minix core file; By default, it looks for the file 'core' in the local directory and loads
       that for analysis; it also searches for the file 'symbol.out', and if that fails 'a.out', expecting them to contain symbol information  for
       the core file.  It is not a fatal error if the symbol files don't exist.

       The  stack  backtrace  is  slightly tricky, and may go on longer than is really justified, since there's no easy way for it to know when to
       stop.  Treat its results with caution.
