# debug

## Name

*debug* - disables the automatic recovery upon a crash so that you'll get a nice stack trace.

## Description

to help testing.

Note that the *errors* plugin (if loaded) will also set a `recover` negating this setting. 

## Syntax

debug

## Examples

Disable the ability to recover from crashes:

~~~ corefile
. {
    debug
}
~~~
