+.Sh NAME
+.Nm kdumpd
+.Nd Mac OS X remote kernel core dump server
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm /usr/libexec/kdumpd
+.Op Ar directory
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Kdumpd
+is a server which receives
+kernel states in the form of
+a core dump from a remote
+Mac OS X machine.
+The
+.Tn kdumpd
+server operates
+on UDP port 1069, although this
+may be configurable in the future.
+The server should be started by
+.Xr launchctl 1 .
+.Pp
+The server should have the user ID
+with the lowest possible privilege,
+usually the user "nobody".
+.Pp
+By default the server stores kernel cores
+in the directory
+.Pa /var/tmp/PanicDumps .
+The directory needs to already exist for kdumpd
+to save core dumps.
+.Pp
+The server returns an EEXIST error
+to the remote kernel if it receives a
+request for an existing file - i.e.
+only new files can be created. The server
+also disallows path specifications in the
+incoming file name.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command is based on Berkeley
+.Xr tftpd 8 ,
+by way of FreeBSD, with several modifications.
