MINICOREDUMPER(8)

📦 version 2.0.8, in ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

minicoredumper — bestie, this is the program that makes you a customized minimal core(5) dump ✨ like it's not just any core dump, it's a curated one 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

minicoredumper pid uid gid signal timestamp hostname executable
[configuration-file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so listen, minicoredumper (yes that's the minicoredumper(8) girly you came here for 💖) is giving highly configurable core dump mechanism. Iconic behavior honestly.

The vibe is very specific tho: this program is meant to be run by the Linux core(5) dump facility itself, like it's not really a you thing, it's a system thing, iykyk 🫶

By default, the main configuration file lives at:

/etc/minicoredumper/minicoredumper.cfg.json

...but plot twist, you can override it if you pass that optional 8th argument. Slay, flexible queen 👑

And for the receipts 📝 — minicoredumper uses syslog(3) to log all its activity. The syslog ident is "minicoredumper" and the syslog facility is LOG_SYSLOG. No cap, that's literally what it does.

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

Wanna set up minicoredumper so it gets used for core(5) dumps? Okay so here's the move bestie:

echo '|/usr/sbin/minicoredumper %P %u %g %s %t %h %e' > \
     /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

That's it. That's the whole ritual 🕯️💅
