- The core file contains a snapshot of the memory of the process that was
- running plus some other stuff. In particular, it contains the initialized
- data segment, which contains the C strings from the program being run by
- the process. If you've included what(1)-style descriptive strings in
- your compilation modules, you can run what(1) to get a list of the modules
- involved. Otherwise you could run strings(1) on the core file and all
- your exectuables and look for similarities.
