 NAME     
 |  |  |  | core – print information about dead processes 
 | 
 SYNOPSIS     
 |  |  |  | core [ dir | corefile ]... 
 | 
 DESCRIPTION     
 |  |  |  | Core prints information about dead processes that have been saved
    as core dumps. 
    
    
    Core reads its arguments in order. If a directory is encountered,
    core reads every core file named core.* or *.core in that directory.
    
    
    
    For each core file read, core prints the command stack file, the
    date and time the core was generated, and the command that generated
    it. The stack command, if run, prints a stack trace of the executing
    thread at the time of the core dump; see db(1). 
    
    
    If no arguments are given, core searches the directory $COREDIR
    for core files; if $COREDIR is not set, core searches the current
    directory.
