Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH] Allows to change the error output direction

You can try it once load 'mpykdump' > shared object. Let me ask another question. Does mpykdump allow consumers of the epython command to take advantage of all of the exported crash utility functions that could be used in this case, e.g., value_symbol()? Or does it restrict users to simply being able to run and parse the output of that exec_crash_command() function?
