NAME
gcore - Generate a core file of a running program
SYNOPSIS
gcore [-o filename] pid
DESCRIPTION
Generate a core dump of a running program with process ID pid. Produced file is equivalent to a kernel
produced core file as if the process crashed (and if "ulimit -c" were used to set up an appropriate core dump
limit). Unlike after a crash, after gcore the program remains running without any change.
OPTIONS
-o filename
The optional argument filename specifies the file name where to put the core dump. If not specified, the
file name defaults to core.pid, where pid is the running program process ID.

Texinfo documentation are properly installed at your site, the command
info gdb
