NAME
cygwin-crashreporter - A crash reporting tool for cygwin

SYNOPSIS
cygwin-crashreporter-cli [OPTIONS] IGNORED_FILENAME WIN32PID

cygwin-crashreporter-gui [OPTIONS] IGNORED_FILENAME WIN32PID

DESCRIPTION
cygwin-crashreporter is crash reporting tool for Cygwin, which creates a minidump of the specified process and uploads it to a reporting server.

cygwin-crashreporter can be used with Cygwin's JIT debugging facility in exactly the same way as dumper(1).

For compatibility with dumper(1), a filename argument must be provided which is ignored, and the target process is terminated unless the -n option is given.

OPTIONS
cygwin-crashreporter accepts the following optional command line switches:

-d  Output verbose debugging information.

-f  Windows-style pathname of an additional file to upload

-h  List these options and exit.

-k  Don't remove the minidump file after uploading.

-n  Do not kill the process.

-q  Be quiet while dumping.

-r  Don't upload the minidump.

-s  Set the upload server URL.

-V  Display the version number and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CYGWIN_CRASHREPORTER_URL Sets the URL that the crash reporter will submit reports to.

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.

CYGWIN_CRASHREPORTER_DISABLE If set, disable crash reporting completely.

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
dumper(1), minidumper(1)

BUGS

AUTHORS
cygwin-crashreporter was written by Jon Turney. It is a simple wrapper around the breakpad library which does the actual work of creating a minidump and uploading it to a crash reporting server.
