GCORE(1) GNU Development Tools GCORE(1)
gcore - Generate a core file of a running program
gcore [-a] [-o prefix] [-d directory] pid1 [pid2...pidN]
Generate core dumps of one or more running programs with process
IDs pid1, pid2, etc. A core file produced by gcore is equivalent
to one produced by the kernel when the process crashes (and when
"ulimit -c" was used to set up an appropriate core dump limit).
However, unlike after a crash, after gcore finishes its job the
program remains running without any change.
-a Dump all memory mappings. The actual effect of this option
depends on the Operating System. On GNU/Linux, it will
disable "use-coredump-filter" and enable
"dump-excluded-mappings".
-o prefix
The optional argument prefix specifies the prefix to be used
when composing the file names of the core dumps. The file
name is composed as prefix.pid, where pid is the process ID of
the running program being analyzed by gcore. If not
specified, prefix defaults to gcore.
-d directory
Use directory as the data directory when invoking GDB for
running the gcore command. This argument is optional.
The full documentation for GDB is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
If the "info" and "gdb" programs and GDB's Texinfo documentation
are properly installed at your site, the command
info gdb
should give you access to the complete manual.
