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
