crash
OS/161 Reference Manual
Name
crash - commit various exceptions
Synopsis
/testbin/crash [operation]
Description
crash will perform any one of fourteen illegal processor operations,
any one of which should get it killed without causing the whole system
to crash.
The operations are coded `a' through `n' and may be chosen on the
command line. If no operation is chosen, a menu is displayed and a
choice solicited.
Restrictions
Test `f', which writes into the process's own code segment, will only
cause a processor exception if you implement read-only code segments.
Since this is not required, it is not required that test `f' pass.
However, using test `f' must not under any circumstances corrupt the
code in the copy of crash on disk!
Requirements
crash uses the following system calls:
crash should operate properly once the basic system call assignment is
complete.
