| From: Steve Dickson <SteveD@xxxxxxxxxx> | I've tried both crash and crash -f with no luck. How did you find out about -f flag? I don't see it in crash(8) nor in the output of crash --help. Flags known to crash, extracted from main.c: --memory_module --memory_device --no_kallsyms --no_modules --no_namelist_gzip --help --data_debug --no_data_debug --no_crashrc --no_kmem_cache --kmem_cache_delay --readnow --smp --machdep --version --buildinfo --shadow_page_tables --cpus --no_ikconfig --hyper --p2m_mfn --zero_excluded --no_panic -f -g -H -h -e -t -i -v -s -L -S -c -d -p -m Flags listed in crash(8) and output of crash --help: -h -v -s -i -d -S It would be good if more of the flags were documented. Also: getopt makes it easy to add a long option name as a synonym for a one-character option. I think that you can use this feature to help make options clearer. For example, --force could be added as a synonym for -f at the cost of one more line initializing long_options. -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
