- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- The \fBkgcore\fR command is used to make a copy of the kernel memory image of
- a Sprite machine. The memory image may be used with \fBkgdb\fR
- to examine the machine's state.
- \fIMachine\fR is the name of a machine
- running Sprite. The machine must be in the kernel debugger
- for \fBkgcore\fR to work (see the -d option
- of the \fBkmsg\fR command.)
- \fBKgcore\fR writes the kernel memory image to the file vmcore unless
- another file name is specified with the \fB\-o\fR option. This file may be
- specified as a core image to \fBkgdb\fR.
