|

|
|
.Nm gcore
|

|
|
.Op Fl s

|
||
|

|

.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> .
|
||
|
|
Both the executable image,
|
||
|
|
.Ar exec ,
|
||
|
|
and the process identifier,
|
||
|
|
.Ar pid ,
|
||
|
|
must be given on the command line.
|
||
|
|
.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 .

|
||
|
|
.It Pa core.<pid>
|
||
|
|
The core image.

.Sh HISTORY
|
||
|
|
.Nm Gcore
|
||
|
|
appeared in 4.2BSD.
|
||
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
|
Context switches or paging activity that occur while
|
||
|
|
.Nm gcore
|
||
|
|
is running may cause the program to become confused.
|
||
|
|
For best results, use -s to temporarily stop the target process.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Nm Gcore
|
||
|
|
is not compatible with the original 4.2BSD version.
|
||
|
|
In particular, 4.4BSD requires the
|
||
|
|
.Ar exec
|
||
|
|
argument.
