.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
The \fBdumpcore\fR utility generates a core file for a running process, based
 | 
						|
on that process's process ID (\fIpid\fP). The resulting core file will be
 | 
						|
stored under the name "core" in the current working directory. Any previous
 | 
						|
file with that name will be overwritten.
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
The resulting core file can be used with for example
 | 
						|
.BR mdb (1).
 | 
						|
.SH BUGS
 | 
						|
The process of generating the core file is currently very rudimentary, and
 | 
						|
the generated core file does not contain for example memory mapped areas.
 | 
						|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
 | 
						|
.BR mdb (1).
