crashdc(8)
NAME
  crashdc - Diagnostic data collection for a running or crashed system

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/crashdc [system-kernel] [core-image]

DESCRIPTION
  The crashdc utility examines the core image of the operating system to
  extract critical diagnostic data. This utility is a shell script that
  invokes several tools and commands that extract selected parameters of a
  running or a crashed system (for example, system configuration, running
  processes, and panic messages).

  The arguments to the crashdc utility are the system kernel and the core
  image. The default values are /vmunix and /dev/mem, respectively. If you
  specify no arguments, the crashdc utility examines the running system.

  The system usually invokes the crashdc utility during system startup. If
  the most recent core dump has been saved by the savecore command, both the
  core image and the system kernel (respectively vmcore.n and vmunix.n, where
  the variable n is the crash number) are saved in the crash directory (by
  default, /var/adm/crash). Also, the crashdc utility saves the output as the
  file crash-data.n (where the variable n is the crash number) in the crash
  directory. The crashdc utility is invoked only if crash-data.n output in
  the crash directory does not exist or is not from the most recent crash.

FILES
  /dev/mem
      Default core image

  /vmunix
      Default system image

  crash-data.n
