Process Dump Overview

The Process Dump feature enables an application to be debugged post-mortem. This feature dumps a core image of a process as an ELF format file on unrecoverable faults or if pdump(2K) is invoked.

More than one process can be dumped by passing multiple process ID arguments. The generated core file is used by the debugging tool to perform a post-mortem analysis of the process.

The CORE_DUMP feature must be active for a core dump to be generated in the event of an application crash.
