why core dump in a certain directory

I realize that core dumps happen, but what I am trying to figure out is why does it dump in a certain directory. Is there an ryme or reason...

Generally, it's because that's where the user was at the time - their $PWD.

Re: why core dump in a certain directory

Core dumps are generated in chrashing program's working directory.

Re: why core dump in a certain directory

Directory may be related to the crashed application path or related to it...

Try to debug it as,

file core
what core

gdb core

gdb> bt

It will give all details there.


Easy to suggest when don't know about the problem!
