💜 audit_core_dumps(9) 💜

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's lowkey one of the shortest ones ever, which honestly? iconic. it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

audit_core_dumps — record information about processes that end abnormally 🫶

like, when a process goes out in a messy way, this is the function that makes sure we wrote it down in our diary. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void audit_core_dumps (long signr );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• signr — the signal value 💀 literally just the signal, that's the whole vibe

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: if a process ends with a core dump, something fishy is going on 👀 and we should record the event for investigation. that's it. that's the function. no cap.

like yeah it's short but it's doing main character work — detecting the sketchy stuff and making sure there's a paper trail for later 🔥
