This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

.Sh NAME

.Nm core
|
|
.Nd memory image file format
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
A small number of signals which cause abnormal termination of a process
|
|
also cause a record of the process's in-core state to be written
|
|
to disk for later examination by one of the available debuggers.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr sigaction 2 . )
|
|
This memory image is written to a file named
|
|
.Nm programname.core
|
|
in the working directory;
|
|
provided the terminated process had write permission in the directory,
|
|
and provided the abnormality did not cause
|
|
a system crash.
|
|
(In this event, the decision to save the core file is arbitrary, see
|
|
.Xr savecore 8 . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The maximum size of a
|
|
.Nm programname.core
|
|
file is limited by
|
|
.Xr setrlimit 2 .
|
|
Files which would be larger than the limit are not created.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm programname.core
|
|
file consists of the
|
|
.Fa u .
|
|
area, whose size (in pages) is
|
|
defined by the
|
|
.Dv UPAGES
|
|
manifest in the
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/param.h
|
|
file. The
|
|
.Fa u .
|
|
area starts with a
|
|
.Fa user
|
|
structure as given in
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/user.h .
|
|
The remainder of the
|
|
.Nm programname.core
|
|
file consists of the data pages followed by
|
|
the stack pages of the process image.
|
|
The amount of data space image in the
|
|
.Nm programname.core
|
|
file is given (in pages) by the
|
|
variable
|
|
.Fa u_dsize
|
|
in the
|
|
.Fa u .
|
|
area.
|
|
The amount of stack image in the core file is given (in pages) by the
|
|
variable
|
|
.Fa u_ssize
|
|
in the
|
|
.Ar u .
|
|
area.
|
|
The size of a ``page'' is given by the constant
|
|
.Dv NBPG
|
|
(also from
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/param.h ) .
