KGDB(1)                 FreeBSD General Commands Manual                KGDB(1)


NAME

     kgdb -- kernel debugger


SYNOPSIS

     kgdb [-a | -f | -fullname] [-q | -quiet] [-v] [-d crashdir]
          [-c core | -n dumpnr | -r device] [kernel [core]]


DESCRIPTION

     The kgdb utility is a debugger based on gdb(1) that allows debugging of
     kernel core files.

     The options are as follows:

     -a           Increase the annotation level.  An annotation level of 1
                  features the historical -fullname option of gdb(1).  This is
                  useful when running kgdb in Emacs.  The -f or -fullname
                  options are supported for backward compatibility as well.

     -q           Suppress printing of the banner when the debugger starts.
                  The -quiet form is supported for compatibility as well.

     -v           Increase verbosity.

     -d crashdir  Use crashdir instead of the default, /var/crash to locate
                  kernel core dump files in.  The name vmcore. plus the dump
                  number will be appended to determine the actual dump file
                  name.

     -c core      Explicitly use core as the core dump file.

     -n dumpnr    Use the kernel core dump file numbered dumpnr for debugging.

     -r device    Use device to connect kgdb to for a remote debugging ses-
                  sion.

     The -c, -n, and -r options are mutually exclusive.

     Optionally, the name of the kernel symbol file and the name of the core
     dump file can be supplied on the command-line as positional arguments.
     If no kernel symbol file name has been given, the symbol file of the cur-
     rently running kernel will be used.  If no core dump file has been speci-
     fied through either of the options or the last command-line argument,
     /dev/mem will be opened to allow debugging the currently running kernel.


FILES

     /dev/mem    Default memory image to open if no core dump file has been
                 specified.

     /var/crash  Default directory to locate kernel core dump files.
