gcore - Generate a core file of a running program
gcore [-a] [-o prefix] 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.
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.
