Re: [Crash-utility] How to fire crash command from extension directly
----- Original Message -----
Hi,
I have written crash extension(shared-object) for dumping few data structures from crash.
I want to trigger
standard crash command e.g. "bt", from crash extension itself. Can anyone
please help me
out, how can it be achieved ? I am using APIs exported by crash header file defs.h
Your valuable suggestions would be helpful for me.
Thanks in advance.

Calling a crash command from within another command is not supported.
You *may* be able to get away with calling a "cmd_xxx()" function,
depending upon how the global optind and optarg values, and
the global argcnt and args[] array have been manipulated by your
extension command.
The better option is to call the worker functions that the cmd_xxx()
functions utilize -- if that's possible. In the case of "bt" you
could call the exported back_trace() function, similar to the
way that the "foreach" command does it in foreach() function.
