[net.unix] Examining the user stack in a core dump

smp@gitpyr.UUCP (03/09/86)

	Does anyone have anything that will examine the user stack of
a 3B20 core file.  The information in the documentation on core dumps
indicates that everything dumped has a regular structure from machine
to machine (within limits) but that the user stack is extremely
machine dependent.  In the 3B20 online manuals there is no
information on the stack other than its starting location and maximum
boundary.

	If you have some information or code done for a machine done
on a machine other than a 3B20, please let me know as well.

	Thanks,
	Scott

The 't' command in sdb should work, even if the program is not compiled
with the -g option.  If you want to reformat the output or something,
the code in sdb should be a good place to start.
