*** Changes since GDB 5.1:
+ * New command "generate-core-file" (or "gcore").
+
+ This new gdb command allows the user to drop a core file of the
+ child process state at any time. So far it's been implemented
+ only for Linux and Solaris, but should be relatively easily
+ ported to other hosts. Argument is core file name (defaults
+ to core.<pid>).
+
* New command line option
GDB now accepts --pid or -p followed by a process id.
