Kernel Examination Tools

Use crash, adb, and kadb(1M) to examine the kernel.

crash Command

crash examines kernel structures interactively. It can be used on a system dump and on an active system.


Note - crash has reached EOL and is not supported in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For information about how to transition from crash to mdb, see the Solaris Modular Debugger Guide.


The following crash functions are related to STREAMS:

adb Command

adb is an interactive general-purpose debugger. It can be used to examine files and provides a controlled environment for the execution of programs. It has no support built in for any STREAMS functionality.


Note - adb has reached EOL and is not supported in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For information about how to transition from adb to mdb, see the Solaris Modular Debugger Guide.


kadb Command

kadb(1M) is an interactive debugger with a user interface similar to adb(1), but it runs in the same virtual address space as the program begin debugged. It also has no specific STREAMS support.
