# How To Use Breakpad As a Coredump Handler on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
This document presents a way to use Breakpad in order to generate
|
||||
minidumps system wide on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to [Linux starter guide](./linux_starter_guide.md) if
|
||||
instead you want to integrate breakpad into your application.
|
||||
|
||||
## Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
When working on an embedded system, disk and memory space is often
|
||||
limited and when a process crashes it must be restarted as soon as
|
||||
possible. Sometime saving a full coredump takes to much time or
|
||||
consumes too much space.
|
||||
|
||||
## Breakpad Core Handler
|
||||
|
||||
In such case the program `core_handler` can be use to generate
|
||||
minidumps instead of coredumps. `core_handler` reads the firsts
|
||||
sections of the coredump (where the various threads are described)
|
||||
generated by Linux from the standard input and then directly reads
|
||||
`/proc/<pid>/mem` to reconstruct the stacktraces.
|
||||
|
||||
One can test it with:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# echo "|/usr/libexec/core_handler %P /var/lib/minidump/%e-%i.md" >
|
||||
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|
||||
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pipe_limit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Be aware that a real world integration would likely require further
|
||||
customization and so `core_handler` can be wrapped into a script (for
|
||||
example to change the permission of the minidump file or to signal the
|
||||
presence of the minidump to another service).
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to
|
||||
[core(5)](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/core.5.html) for more
|
||||
details.
