DumpPanic(8) BSD System Manager's Manual DumpPanic(8)
NAME
DumpPanic -- Writes panic reports
DESCRIPTION
DumpPanic reads panic log information from the system and writes it into
a panic report on disk. The panic report is intended to help kernel
engineers diagnose the cause of the panic and are submitted anonymously
to Apple by the SubmitDiagInfo process. The reports are used by Apple to
improve its products. Users who need support should use
http://www.apple.com/support or other authorized support channels.
Developers who are ADC members should report bugs using http://bugre-
porter.apple.com in order to allow for two way communication between
Apple and the bug reporter.
DumpPanic runs on every boot to check for evidence of a panic and exits
cleanly if none is found.
More information about interpreting the contents of panic logs can be
found in Technote 2063: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/tech-
notes/tn2063/_index.html
