|

| 26 | .PP
|
|---|
| 27 | .I Postmort
|
|---|
| 28 | does a simple static analysis of a PC MINIX 3 core file;
|
|---|
| 29 | By default, it looks for the
|
|---|
| 30 | file 'core' in the local directory and loads that for analysis; it
|
|---|
| 31 | also searches for the file 'symbol.out', and if that fails 'a.out',
|
|---|
| 32 | expecting them to contain symbol information for the core file.
|
|---|
| 33 | It is not a fatal error if the symbol files don't exist.
|
|---|
| 34 | .PP
|
|---|
| 35 | The stack backtrace is slightly tricky, and may go on longer
|
|---|
| 36 | than is really justified, since there's no easy way for it to
|
|---|
| 37 | know when to stop. Treat its results with caution.
