gcore(1)                       DG/UX R4.11MU05                      gcore(1)


NAME
       gcore - get core images of running processes

SYNOPSIS
       gcore [ -o filename ] process-id ...

DESCRIPTION
       gcore creates a core image of each specified process.  Such an image
       may be used with debuggers such as dbx and mxdb.  The name of the
       core image file for the process whose process ID is process-id will
       be core.process-id.  The core image is written, if possible, in the
       current user's working directory; normal access controls apply.

       The -o option substitutes filename in place of core as the first part
       of the name of the core image files.

       To create a core file the effective user ID and real user ID of the
       specified process must be the same.  In addition, the effective user
       ID of the specified process must match the effective user ID of the
       current user unless the user has appropriate privilege.

       On a generic DG/UX system, appropriate privilege is granted by having
       an effective user ID of 0 (root).  On a system with DG/UX information
       security, appropriate privilege is granted by having one or more
       specific capabilities enabled in the effective capability set of the
       user.  See the cap_defaults(5) man page for more information.
