NAME
core - format of memory image file
DESCRIPTION
A memory image of a terminated process is written into file when any of
various errors occur; see signal(2). The memory image is written in
the process's working directory, if it can be; normal access controls
apply.
A core file consists of a copy of the user block for the terminated
process, followed by an image of its data and stack segments. The user
block, which occupies 5K bytes, contains descriptive information about
the process and a stack used by the operating system when serving the
process; see the include file <sys/user.h>.
