2 # This file contains a few gdb macros (user defined commands) to extract
3 # useful information from kernel crashdump (kdump) like stack traces of
4 # all the processes or a particular process and trapinfo.
6 # These macros can be used by copying this file in .gdbinit (put in home
7 # directory or current directory) or by invoking gdb command with
8 # --command=<command-file-name> option
