Functions

crash.write_dump()

crash.write_dump()

Performs the same steps as if a crash had just occured but allows the program to continue. The generated dump can be read by crash.load_previous

PARAMETERS

crash.set_file_path()

crash.set_file_path(path)

Crashes occuring before the path is set will be stored to a default engine location.

PARAMETERS

path file path to use

crash.load_previous()

crash.load_previous()

The crash dump will be removed from disk upon a successful load, so loading is one-shot.

PARAMETERS

RETURNS

handle handle to the loaded dump, or nil if no dump was found

crash.release()

crash.release(handle)

releases a previously loaded crash dump

PARAMETERS

handle handle to loaded crash dump

crash.set_user_field()

crash.set_user_field(index,value)

Store a user value that will get written to a crash dump when a crash occurs. This can be user id:s, breadcrumb data etc. There are 32 slots indexed from 0. Each slot stores at most 255 characters.

PARAMETERS

`index`	slot index. 0-indexed
`value`	string value to store

crash.get_modules()

crash.get_modules(handle)

The function returns a table containing entries with sub-tables that have fields 'name' and 'address' set for all loaded modules.

PARAMETERS

handle crash dump handle

RETURNS

modules module table

crash.get_user_field()

crash.get_user_field(handle,index)

reads user field from a loaded crash dump

PARAMETERS

`handle`	crash dump handle
`index`	user data slot index

RETURNS

value user data value recorded in the crash dump

crash.get_sys_field()

crash.get_sys_field(handle,index)

reads a system field from a loaded crash dump

PARAMETERS

`handle`	crash dump handle
`index`

RETURNS

value value recorded in the crash dump, or nil if it didn't exist

crash.get_signum()

crash.get_signum(handle)

read signal number from a crash report

PARAMETERS

handle crash dump handle

RETURNS

signal signal number

crash.get_backtrace()

crash.get_backtrace(handle)

A table is returned containing the addresses of the call stack.

PARAMETERS

handle crash dump handle

RETURNS

backtrace table containing the backtrace

crash.get_extra_data()

crash.get_extra_data(handle)

The format of read text blob is platform specific and not guaranteed but can be useful for manual inspection.

PARAMETERS

handle crash dump handle

RETURNS

blob string with the platform specific data
