|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Gcore
|
|
creates a core image of the specified process,
|
|
suitable for use with
|
|
.Xr gdb 1 .
|
|
By default, the core is written to the file
|
|
.Dq Pa core.<pid> .
|
|
The process identifier,
|
|
.Ar pid ,
|
|
must be given on the command line.
|
|
If no executable image is
|
|
specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use
|
|
.Dq Pa /proc/<pid>/file .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Write the core file to the specified file instead of
|
|
.Dq Pa core.<pid> .
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Stop the process while gathering the core image, and resume it
|
|
when done. This guarantees that the resulting core dump will
|
|
be in a consistent state. The process is resumed even if it was
|
|
already stopped.
|
|
The same effect can be achieved manually with
|
|
.Xr kill 1 .

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Context switches or paging activity that occur while
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is running may cause the program to become confused.
|
|
For best results, use
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
to temporarily stop the target process.
|

|
.Nm Gcore

|
is not compatible with the original

version.
