This repository contains the python extensions for interacting with Linux kernel crash dumps.

You'll need:

• libkdumpfile
• gdb-python

For the latest development efforts:

• gdb-python 'master-suse-target' branch configured with --with-python=/usr/bin/python3
• crash-python 'next' branch

Packages for SUSE-created releases are available on the Open Build Service.

Crash-python requires the following to run properly:

• The complete debuginfo for the kernel to be debugged, including modules
• The ELF images for the kernel and all modules
• The vmcore dump image from the crashed system

To start: pycrash -d <dir to debuginfo and modules> <path-to-vmlinux> <path-to-vmcore>

The -d option may be specified multiple times if multiple directories are required.
