Hi,

I'd like to know how to find which program produced a particular core dump file, any idea?

,----
| (debian-unstable)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ulimit -c unlimited

| #include <stdio.h>

| {
|   char * foo = 0;
|   *foo = 'bar';

| }

| Core was generated by `./baz'.

HTH,

| | (debian-unstable)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo " | | int main () | | return 0; | | " | gcc -xc -o baz - | | (debian-unstable)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./baz | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | | (debian-unstable)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdb -batch -c ./core | grep -i generated

May I suggest using the 'file' command?

$ baz
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ ls
baz  core
$ file core

core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from 'baz'
