- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><command>systemd-coredump</command> can be used as a helper
- binary by the kernel when a user space program receives a fatal
- signal and dumps core. For it to be used in this capacity, it must
- be specified by the
- <varname>kernel.core_pattern</varname> <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- setting. Systemd installs
- <filename>/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf</filename> which
- configures <varname>kernel.core_pattern</varname> to invoke
- <command>systemd-coredump</command>. This file may be masked or
- overriden to use a different setting following normal
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> rules.</para>
-
- <para>The behaviour of a specific program upon reception of a
- signal is governed by a few factors which are described in detail
- in <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>core</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
- In particular, the coredump will only be processed when the
- related resource limits are high enough. For programs started by
- <command>systemd</command> those may be set using
- <varname>LimitCore=</varname> (see
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
- </para>
-
- <para><command>systemd-coredump</command> will log the coredump
- including a backtrace if possible, and store the core (contents of
- process' memory contents) in an external file on disk in
- <filename>/var/lib/systemd/coredump</filename>, or directly in
- the journal. This behaviour may be modified using
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>coredump.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
-
- <para>Apart from the
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- log viewer,
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>coredumpctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- may be used to list and extract coredumps.</para>
