30 // Framework to provide a simple C API to crash reporting for
31 // applications.  By default, if any machine-level exception (e.g.,
32 // EXC_BAD_ACCESS) occurs, it will be handled by the BreakpadRef
33 // object as follows:
34 //
35 // 1. Create a minidump file (see Breakpad for details)
36 // 2. Prompt the user (using CFUserNotification)
37 // 3. Invoke a command line reporting tool to send the minidump to a
38 //    server
39 //
40 // By specifying parameters to the BreakpadCreate function, you can
41 // modify the default behavior to suit your needs and wants and
42 // desires.
