crashdump(8) BSD System Manager's Manual crashdump(8)

NAME
     ccrraasshhdduummpp - crash reporting tool

SYNOPSIS
     ccrraasshhdduummpp

DESCRIPTION
     ccrraasshhdduummpp is a helper tool used by the ccrraasshhrreeppoorrtteerrdd daemon to create
     crash reports and notify the user of application crashes.   Users should
     not run ccrraasshhdduummpp manually.

     For most user processes the crash report is appended to the crash log
     located at: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/<>.crash.log

     For system processes (or for processes where the user can not be identi-
     fied or the user's home directory is not available for writing) the crash
     report will instead be be appended to the crash log located at:
     /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/<>.crash.log

     For normal application crashes ccrraasshhdduummpp will display a dialog to alert
     the console user to the crash and offer the choice to view more details
     about the crash, report the crash to Apple or try running the application
     again.
