NAME
cygwin-crashreporter-server - A crash generation server for cygwin

SYNOPSIS
cygwin-crashreporter-server

DESCRIPTION
cygwin-crashreporter-server is a crash generation server, which will receive requests to write a minidump from other processes, and presents a reporting wizard GUI to inform the user of progress as it uses breakpad to write a minidump and upload it to a crash report server.

cygwin-crashreporter-server is started automatically when needed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CYGWIN_CRASHREPORTER_NO_DELETE_DUMP If set, don't delete the minidump file after submitting it to the server.

CYGWIN_CRASHREPORTER_NO_REPORT If set, save the minidump file, but don't send the report to the server.

FILES
Minidump files are written to a 'dumps' subdirectory of the first of the following which is writeable:

The directory returned by GetTempPath()
The root directory of the drive in the environment variable SYSTEMDRIVE
C:\
The current working directory

SEE ALSO
