NAME
       plainbox-dev-crash - crash the application


SYNOPSIS
          plainbox dev crash [-h] (-c | -H)


DESCRIPTION
       Crash the application

       This command is designed to crash or hang the application.

       Using  this  command a developer can inspect the built-in development and debugging features available in
       Plainbox.  Specifically, there are several options available to the top-level plainbox command (they have
       to be used before the dev crash syntax) that allow to enable one of the following actions:

   Jumping Into PDB on Uncaught Exception
       If  plainbox  is  invoked  with the --pdb command line option then all uncaught exceptions are handled by
       starting a debugger session. Using the debugger a developer can inspec the execution stack, including all
       the threads, local and global variables, etc..

   Jumping into PDB on KeyboardInterrupt
       If  plainbox  is  invoked  with  both  the  --pdb  and  the --debug-interrupt command line options then a
       KeyboardInterrupt exception is not ignored, as it usually is, and instead it allowed  to  bubble  up  the
       command line implementation call stack until it starts the interactive debugger session.


OPTIONS
       Optional arguments:

       -c, --crash
              raise an exception

       -H, --hang
              hang the application with a busy loop


EXAMPLES
       A debugger session on exception:

          plainbox --pdb dev crash --crash

       A debugger session on keyboard interrupt:

          plainbox --pdb --debug-interrupt dev crash --hang
