# tapset::panic(3stap)

systemtap panic tapset

## NAME

tapset::panic - systemtap panic tapset

## DESCRIPTION

 Functions in the panic tapset allow a probe handler to invoke\
  the system panic routine with a user-specified message.

 This may be used with a crash dump collection facility such as \
  kexec/kdump in order to capture data for post-mortem debugging.

 Due to the fact that this will bring the system to an immediate\
  halt the functions in this tapset require guru mode.
