CORE(1)CORE(1)

NAME
core – print information about dead processes

SYNOPSIS
core [ dir | corefile ]...

DESCRIPTION
Core prints information about dead processes that have been saved as core dumps.
Core reads its arguments in order. If a directory is encountered, core reads every core file named core.* or *.core in that directory.
For each core file read, core prints the command stack file, the date and time the core was generated, and the command that generated it. The stack command, if run, prints a stack trace of the executing thread at the time of the core dump; see db(1).
If no arguments are given, core searches the directory $COREDIR for core files; if $COREDIR is not set, core searches the current directory.
