## Getting a debug stacktrace
Debug stacktraces provide useful info on why a program crashed. To get proper
stacktraces from Hyprland, make sure it was [built in debug mode](#build-in-debug-mode).

coredumpctl # check the PID of the recent crash
coredumpctl debug <PID> # using the PID found in the previous step
```
