GETAPPCORE(8)

NAME
getappcore - Get Application Core File

SYNOPSIS
getappcore [OPTIONS] -j PID | /path/to/core/file

DESCRIPTION
Creates an archive containing an application core, and all files required to analyze it - including the binary which created the core, and all required shared libraries. Included in the archive is a logfile containing RPM version information for further investigation by SUSE. You must specify the filename or the journal PID of the application core you want to submit. The core file must be provided uncompressed. The PID can be determined by the command "coredumpctl list". Since systemd creates compressed core files by default, you should almost always prefer '-j <PID>' nowadays. You can safely omit the '-b' option then.

OPTIONS

-h  The help screen

-b path
    Path to the binary which generated the application core file

-r srnum
    SUSE Service Request number associated with this issue

-j PID
    Specifies a coredump PID number from the journal to extract, instead of specifying a core file on the file system

-u  Automatically uploads archive to the SUSE FTP server using HTTPS

-f  Automatically uploads archive to the SUSE FTP server using FTPES

-v  Enable verbose messages

EXAMPLES
    getappcore -j 1345
    getappcore -ur 00123456 -j 2344
    getappcore -ur 00123456 -b /bin/rpm /core.15832
