# crashdump

A small utility for converting macOS crashreport files (.ips) into text output which is the same as

what you would see using Console.app to open them. Note that .ips files are json, so you can also

extract individual data fields out of them pretty easily.

Works with macOS 12 (Monterey) and macOS 13 (Ventura) as of 2022-11-06. Uses private APIs so no

guarantees moving forward.

> [!NOTE]

> For macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) and better there is the `viewdiagnostic` tool that you should use instead.

The crash reports generated by the system can usually be found in 

`~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports`.

Should build using Xcode (Xcode 14 was used), or you can download the built tool from releases.
