| </pre></div> |
| <p><strong>Description</strong><br> |
| Return a read-only string explaining which program was running |
| when it failed and produced the core file <var>abfd</var>. |
| </p> |

| (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd); |
| </pre></div> |
| <p><strong>Description</strong><br> |
| Return <code>TRUE</code> if the core file attached to <var>core_bfd</var> |
| was generated by a run of the executable file attached to |
| <var>exec_bfd</var>, <code>FALSE</code> otherwise. |

| <pre class="example">bfd_boolean generic_core_file_matches_executable_p |
| (bfd *core_bfd, bfd *exec_bfd); |
| </pre></div> |
| <p><strong>Description</strong><br> |
| Return TRUE if the core file attached to <var>core_bfd</var> |
| was generated by a run of the executable file attached |
| to <var>exec_bfd</var>. The match is based on executable |
| basenames only. |
| </p> |
| <p>Note: When not able to determine the core file failing |
| command or the executable name, we still return TRUE even |
| though we’re not sure that core file and executable match. |
| This is to avoid generating a false warning in situations |
| where we really don’t know whether they match or not. |
