34 FUNCTION
35 bfd_core_file_failing_command
37 SYNOPSIS
38 CONST char *bfd_core_file_failing_command(bfd *abfd);
40 DESCRIPTION
41 Return a read-only string explaining which program was running
42 when it failed and produced the core file @var{abfd}.

58 FUNCTION
59 bfd_core_file_failing_signal
61 SYNOPSIS
62 int bfd_core_file_failing_signal(bfd *abfd);
64 DESCRIPTION
65 Returns the signal number which caused the core dump which
66 generated the file the BFD @var{abfd} is attached to.

84 SYNOPSIS
85 boolean core_file_matches_executable_p
86 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
88 DESCRIPTION
89 Return <<true>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
90 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
91 @var{exec_bfd}, <<false>> otherwise.
