Default crash API?

I'm back with another wild question.

There are often times I'd like to use crash more as a library than a
utility. I've plaid with using "expect" routines, but find them rather
clumsy.

Has there ever been any discussion of a crash library or other API where
I might have the niceties of crash with a clean interface...

perhaps something along the lines of

crash=crash:pen(kernel,dump)
crash->bt(pid)
crash->rd(address, length)

etc..

thanks

- jim

Well, there's "alicia" (Advanced LInux Crash-dump Interactive Analyzer)
that provides some kind of perl interface:

http://alicia.sourceforge.net/

I've never used it, and the site doesn't seem too active these days.

And there's the python extension referred to here:

http://people.redhat.com/anderson/extensions.html

which points to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pykdump

Anything beyond those two are unbeknownst to me.
