Description

BootstrapDump is a small program that does two useful things:

- It will print the Mach bootstrap namespace for a specified process. This is helpful when debugging programs that register with the bootstrap server, or that cross bootstrap port contexts.

- It will print a map of the hierarchy of Mach bootstrap namespaces on the system and shows which processes are in which namespaces. This is useful when you want to understand the overall bootstrap namespace hierarchy.
