A program dump is a printout of information about the current state of a process. You can use this information to help debug a defective program. The following subsections explain how to specify when program dumps are to occur, and how to specify which types of information should be included in the dump.
On a system running the Secure Accountability Facility, some security options can restrict the contents of program dumps and the ability to copy program dumps. Refer to the Security Operations Guide for details.
