28 Core file functions
30 DESCRIPTION
31 These are functions pertaining to core files.
34 #include "sysdep.h"
35 #include "bfd.h"
36 #include "libbfd.h"
39 FUNCTION
40 bfd_core_file_failing_command
42 SYNOPSIS
43 const char *bfd_core_file_failing_command (bfd *abfd);
45 DESCRIPTION
46 Return a read-only string explaining which program was running
47 when it failed and produced the core file @var{abfd}.
51 const char *
52 bfd_core_file_failing_command (bfd *abfd)

63 FUNCTION
64 bfd_core_file_failing_signal
66 SYNOPSIS
67 int bfd_core_file_failing_signal (bfd *abfd);
69 DESCRIPTION
70 Returns the signal number which caused the core dump which
71 generated the file the BFD @var{abfd} is attached to.
74 int
75 bfd_core_file_failing_signal (bfd *abfd)
77 if (abfd->format != bfd_core)

86 FUNCTION
87 bfd_core_file_pid
89 SYNOPSIS
90 int bfd_core_file_pid (bfd *abfd);
92 DESCRIPTION
94 Returns the PID of the process the core dump the BFD
95 @var{abfd} is attached to was generated from.
98 int
99 bfd_core_file_pid (bfd *abfd)
101 if (abfd->format != bfd_core)

112 core_file_matches_executable_p
114 SYNOPSIS
115 bfd_boolean core_file_matches_executable_p
116 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
118 DESCRIPTION
119 Return <<TRUE>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
120 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
121 @var{exec_bfd}, <<FALSE>> otherwise.

139 generic_core_file_matches_executable_p
141 SYNOPSIS
142 bfd_boolean generic_core_file_matches_executable_p
143 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
145 DESCRIPTION
146 Return TRUE if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
147 was generated by a run of the executable file attached
148 to @var{exec_bfd}. The match is based on executable
149 basenames only.
151 Note: When not able to determine the core file failing
152 command or the executable name, we still return TRUE even
153 though we're not sure that core file and executable match.
154 This is to avoid generating a false warning in situations
155 where we really don't know whether they match or not.

169 of the const char * returned by bfd_core_file_failing_command to a
170 non-const char *. In this case, the assignement does not lead to
171 breaking the const, as we're only reading the string. */
