on Windows it is a good idea to use `--target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` to get
better support.

and `warn-nobacktrace` are the supported actions. The default is to `abort`,
which halts the machine. Some (but not all) operations also support continuing
execution with a "permission denied" error being returned to the program.
