NAME

----

abrt-action-generate-core-backtrace - Generates coredump-level backtrace

SYNOPSIS

--------

'abrt-action-generate-core-backtrace' [-v] [-r] [-d DIR]

DESCRIPTION

-----------

This tool uses coredump from the file 'coredump' and binary at the path stored

in file 'executable' in the problem directory to generate coredump-level

backtrace.

Coredump-level backtrace resembles ordinary backtrace in that it contains

information about call frames present on the stack at the time of the crash.

However, it only contains information that can be obtained from the coredump

without debugging symbols available - mainly relative addresses of

the stored instruction pointers. Such backtrace can still be useful

for reporting and reproducing the bug and does not require debugging

information files to be installed.

The result is saved in the problem directory in a file named

'core_backtrace'.

Integration with libreport events

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'abrt-action-generate-core-backtrace' can be used as an analyzer for

application crashes which dump core.

Example usage in report_event.conf:

------------

EVENT=analyze analyzer=CCpp

        abrt-action-generate-core-backtrace

OPTIONS

-------

-d DIR::

   Path to problem directory.

-r::
