Editing Core dump (section)

==== Unix-like ====
Since Solaris&nbsp;8, system utility <code>coreadm</code> allows the name and location of core files to be configured. Dumps of user processes are traditionally created as <code>core</code>. On Linux (since versions 2.4.21 and 2.6 of the [[Linux kernel mainline]]), a different name can be specified via [[procfs]] using the <code>/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern</code> configuration file; the specified name can also be a template that contains tags substituted by, for example, the executable filename, the process ID, or the reason for the dump.<ref>{{cite web
