27 Core file functions
29 DESCRIPTION
30 These are functions pertaining to core files.
33 #include "bfd.h"
34 #include "sysdep.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)
53 if (abfd->format != bfd_core)

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);
79 return 0;
81 return BFD_SEND (abfd, _core_file_failing_signal, (abfd));
85 FUNCTION
86 core_file_matches_executable_p
88 SYNOPSIS
89 bfd_boolean core_file_matches_executable_p
90 (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd);
92 DESCRIPTION
93 Return <<TRUE>> if the core file attached to @var{core_bfd}
94 was generated by a run of the executable file attached to
95 @var{exec_bfd}, <<FALSE>> otherwise.
98 bfd_boolean

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

143 of the const char * returned by bfd_core_file_failing_command to a

145 breaking the const, as we're only reading the string. */
