![]() Ref.: https://bugs.debian.org/904628 It has been reported that gcore's manpage is a bit imprecise when it comes to two things: - It doesn't explicity say that the command accepts more than one PID on its CLI. - It fails to mention that the argument passed through the "-o" option is actually a prefix that will be used to compose the corefile's filename, and not the actual filename. I decided to give it a try and rewrite parts of the text to further clarify these two points. I ended up rewording the "Description" section because, IMHO, it was a bit confuse to understand. To make things consistent, I've also renamed the "$name" variable in the gcore.in script, and expanded the usage text. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2018-07-27 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (gcore man): Rewrite "Description" and "-o" option sections to further clarify that gcore can take more than one PID, and that "-o" is used to specify a prefix, not a filename. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-07-27 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * gcore.in: Rename variable "name" to "prefix". Expand "usage" text. |
