NAME
     kanal - preprocess crash dump and gather debug information

SYNOPSIS
     kanal dumpno

DESCRIPTION
     The kanal program can be run to extract potentially useful information
     from a crash dump (written by savecore(8) ) and the system that crashed.

     kanal should be run from the directory containing the crash dump file (
     bsdcore.N) and the saved kernel image ( bsd.N ). Dumpno is the dump num-
     ber (the N in bsdcore.N).

     When run, kanal will ask numerous questions regarding the circumstances
     of the crash, then attempt to gather information from various areas of
     the system (mostly configuration files in /etc ). When the information
     gathering is complete a single shar file will be produced that can be up-
     load to the support organization for analysis.
