How to find out which program has generated the core file

 

[KenCunningham]

Try issuing the command:

file core

in the directory where the core file is located. Good luck.

Thanx In advance

you should be able to get the ELF Header info from doing the file core.....but try gdb core, then once in gdb, type where and it will tell you where the core started

Another way is to run the command "strings" to get any readable text from the corefile. If youre lucky the program have left a signature in the corefile.
