4 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
5 | UNIX | |
6 | writes out a memory image of a terminated | |
7 | process when any of various errors occur. | |

10 | for the list of reasons; | |
11 | the most common are memory violations, illegal | |
12 | instructions, bus errors, and user-generated | |
13 | quit signals. | |
14 | The memory image is called `core' and is written in the process's | |
15 | working directory (provided it can be; normal | |
16 | access controls apply). | |

18 | In general the debugger | |
19 | .IR adb (1) | |
