       SYNOPSIS
             gcore [-o file] [-p procdir] process-id . . .

       DESCRIPTION
             The gcore command creates a core image of each specified
             process.  This image can be used with debuggers such as debug.
             The name of the core image file for the process whose process
             ID is process-id will be core.process-id.

             The following options are available:

             -o file
                   Substitutes file in place of core as the first part of
                   the name of the core image files.

             -p procdir
                   Substitutes procdir in place of /proc as the process
                   file system.
