38 FUNCTION
39 bfd_core_file_failing_command
41 SYNOPSIS
42 const char *bfd_core_file_failing_command (bfd *abfd);
44 DESCRIPTION
45 Return a read-only string explaining which program was running
46 when it failed and produced the core file @var{abfd}.
50 const char *
51 bfd_core_file_failing_command (bfd *abfd)

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

88 SYNOPSIS
89 bfd_boolean core_file_matches_executable_p
90 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
92 DESCRIPTION
93 Return <<TRUE>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
94 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
95 @var{exec_bfd}, <<FALSE>> otherwise.
