Overview



QLcrash is a graphical user interface for the command line tool lcrash. Its main goal is to display data structures in a userfriendly way and to reduce the usage of the backscroll feature of the terminal. Furthermore the user can follow pointers just by clicking on the desired element. Unlike some other front ends, qlcrash does not limit the functionality of its interior program because it provides a console to issue the traditional commands. In addition to this a set of graphical commands has been added.
qlcrash can work with different plugins, which establish the connection to the underlying lcrash instance. At the moment there exist a "local" plugin which communicates with lcrash directly over unix domain sockets and a tcpip plugin which communicates with the lcrashd daemon over tcpip. To use the tcpip plugin the qlcrashd daemon has to be started on the remote machine, where the dump or live system to analyze is located.
