27 SUBSECTION
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)
54 if (abfd->format != bfd_core)
56 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_invalid_operation);
57 return NULL;
59 return BFD_SEND (abfd, _core_file_failing_command, (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)
79 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_invalid_operation);
80 return 0;
82 return BFD_SEND (abfd, _core_file_failing_signal, (abfd));
86 FUNCTION
87 core_file_matches_executable_p
89 SYNOPSIS
90 bfd_boolean core_file_matches_executable_p
91 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
93 DESCRIPTION
94 Return <<TRUE>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
95 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
96 @var{exec_bfd}, <<FALSE>> otherwise.
99 bfd_boolean

113 FUNCTION
114 generic_core_file_matches_executable_p
116 SYNOPSIS
117 bfd_boolean generic_core_file_matches_executable_p
118 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
120 DESCRIPTION
121 Return TRUE if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
122 was generated by a run of the executable file attached
123 to @var{exec_bfd}. The match is based on executable
124 basenames only.
126 Note: When not able to determine the core file failing
127 command or the executable name, we still return TRUE even
128 though we're not sure that core file and executable match.
129 This is to avoid generating a false warning in situations
130 where we really don't know whether they match or not.

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