36 bfd_core_file_failing_command
38 SYNOPSIS
39 CONST char *bfd_core_file_failing_command(bfd *abfd);
41 DESCRIPTION
42 Return a read-only string explaining which program was running
43 when it failed and produced the core file @var{abfd}.

59 FUNCTION
60 bfd_core_file_failing_signal
62 SYNOPSIS
63 int bfd_core_file_failing_signal(bfd *abfd);
65 DESCRIPTION
66 Returns the signal number which caused the core dump which
67 generated the file the BFD @var{abfd} is attached to.

86 SYNOPSIS
87 boolean core_file_matches_executable_p
88 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
90 DESCRIPTION
91 Return <<true>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
92 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
93 @var{exec_bfd}, <<false>> otherwise.
