27 Core file functions
29 DESCRIPTION
30 These are functions pertaining to core files.
33 #include "sysdep.h"
34 #include "bfd.h"
35 #include "libbfd.h"
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
74 bfd_core_file_failing_signal (bfd *abfd)
76 if (abfd->format != bfd_core)
78 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_invalid_operation);

85 FUNCTION
86 bfd_core_file_pid
88 SYNOPSIS
89 int bfd_core_file_pid (bfd *abfd);
91 DESCRIPTION
93 Returns the PID of the process the core dump the BFD
94 @var{abfd} is attached to was generated from.
97 int
98 bfd_core_file_pid (bfd *abfd)
100 if (abfd->format != bfd_core)
102 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_invalid_operation);

110 FUNCTION
111 core_file_matches_executable_p
113 SYNOPSIS
114 bool core_file_matches_executable_p
115 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
117 DESCRIPTION
118 Return <<TRUE>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
119 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
120 @var{exec_bfd}, <<FALSE>> otherwise.
123 bool

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

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