Solaris 9 (SPARC Platform Edition) Release Notes

crash(1M) Utility

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

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