library interface(gencore API) which can be called by the client.

+.TH man 2 "11 Dec 2013" "1.0" "gencore man page"
+.SH NAME
+gencore \- generates coredump
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+gencore pid [output-file-name]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+gencore takes a dump of the process whose PID is passed
+as a command line argument. If the output file name is
+specified,the core is dumped in that name, if not the
+default filename is core.pid.
+If through options we specify --daemon, in this case the
+gencore command helps in performing a selfdump.Any process
+can connect to this daemon created and request for a dump.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+--daemon   Creates a daemon to perform selfdumps
+
+--socket   Performs selfdumps with systemd taking care of socket connections.
+	   For this we need to have the correct version of systemd which
+	   has this socket option enabled.
+
+.SH SEE ALSO
+ptrace(2), process_vm_readv(2), gencore(3)
+.SH BUGS
+No known bugs.

+.TH man 3 "11 Dec 2013" "1.0" "libgencore man page"
+.SH NAME
+gencore \- generates coredump
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+int gencore(char *corefile);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+gencore takes a dump of the process who sends a message
+to the already running gencore daemon asking for a dump.
+The client or the requester specifies the corefile name
+and the dump is generated in the path specified. This name
+can be a relative or an absolute path.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+gencore returns 0 on success and the appropriate error
+number on a failure.
+.SH ERRORS
+gencore() may fail and returns the errors for the individual operations
+performed by the daemon or server during the coredump generation.
