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