Solaris 9 12/02 Release Notes

crash Utility

The crash utility is no longer supported in this release. In the Solaris 9 operating environment, the mdb(1) utility provides a function that is similar to the function of the crash utility. The mdb utility also examines system crash dump files. The crash utility's interface has been structured around implementation details, such as slots, that have no relation to the Solaris operating system implementation.

"Transition From" in Solaris Modular Debugger Guide provides information for users who are making the transition from using crash to using mdb.
