To see which program produced a core(4) file, run either the file(1) command or the adb(1) command. The following examples show the output of the file(1) and adb(1) commands on a core file from the dtmail program.
$ file core core: ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from `dtmail' |
$ adb core core file = core -- program `dtmail' SIGSEGV 11: segmentation violation ^D (use Control-d to quit the program) |
