How to generate a core dump programmatically?

[mistretzu]

I know how to setup Linux to create core dump when a process crashes.
But it is required to be able to generate the core dump when my process crashes programmatically, so I can control where the core dump is generated and what is the name of the file. Also it would be great if I can do this without modifying any system settings.

On Windows, all these are possible, is this doable on Linux?

Thanks.

Hi,

I didn't understand very well, do You want a core dump settings at user level, or a kind of /proc/<PID>/coredump-filter ?
