Mark Mentovai f4ec7ba590 Add the run_with_crashpad tool.
run_with_crashpad runs a program with a Crashpad exception handler. It
allows a Crashpad exception-handling server to be started and to direct
crashes to it from programs that are not themselves clients of the
Crashpad client library.

= run_with_crashpad(1)
== Name
run_with_crashpad - Run a program with a Crashpad exception handler
== Synopsis
[verse]
*run_with_crashpad* ['OPTION…'] 'COMMAND' ['ARG…']
== Description
Starts a Crashpad exception handler server such as crashpad_handler(8) and
becomes its client, setting an exception port referencing the handler. Then,
executes 'COMMAND' along with any arguments specified ('ARG…') with the new
exception port in effect.
The exception port is configured to receive exceptions of type +EXC_CRASH+,
+EXC_RESOURCE+, and +EXC_GUARD+. The exception behavior is configured as
+EXCEPTION_STATE_IDENTITY | MACH_EXCEPTION_CODES+. The thread state flavor is
set to +MACHINE_THREAD_STATE+.
Programs that use the Crashpad client library directly will not normally use
this tool. This tool exists to allow programs that are unaware of Crashpad to be
run with a Crashpad exception handler.
== Options
*-h*, *--handler*='HANDLER'::
Invoke 'HANDLER' as the Crashpad handler program instead of the default,
*crashpad_handler*.
*-a*, *--handler-argument*='ARGUMENT'::
Invokes the Crashpad handler program with 'ARGUMENT' as one of its arguments.
This option may appear zero, one, or more times. Regardless of this options
presence, the handler will always be invoked with the necessary arguments to
perform a handshake.
*--help*::
Display help and exit.
*--version*::
Output version information and exit.
== Examples
Starts a Crashpad exception handler server by its default name,
*crashpad_handler*, and runs a program with this handler in effect.
[subs="quotes"]
----
$ *run_with_crashpad crash*
Illegal instruction: 4

----
$ *run_with_crashpad --handler=/tmp/crashpad_handler exception_port_tool*
task exception port 0, mask 0x1c00 (CRASH|RESOURCE|GUARD), port 0x30b, behavior
0x80000003 (STATE_IDENTITY|MACH), flavor 7 (THREAD)
----
== Exit Status
*0*::
Success.
*125*::
Failure, with a message printed to the standard error stream.
*126*::
The program specified by 'COMMAND' was found, but could not be invoked.
*127*::
The program specified by 'COMMAND' could not be found.
