DUMPCORE(1)DUMPCORE(1)NAMEdumpcore - generate core file of running process
SYNOPSISdumpcore pid
DESCRIPTION
The dumpcore utility generates a core file for a running process, based
on that process's process ID (pid). The resulting core file will be
stored under the name "core" in the current working directory. Any pre‐
vious file with that name will be overwritten.
The resulting core file can be used with for example mdb(1).
BUGS
The process of generating the core file is currently very rudimentary,
and the generated core file does not contain for example memory mapped
areas.
