This looks like a good start, but raises a lot of questions. For instance: * Is this meant to be about the gcore facility provided by gdb? If not, of course, this is the wrong mailing list. Assuming yes, then: * The copyright date can't be any earlier than 2003, which is when that feature was introduced. I might suggest: Copyright (C) 2003, 2005, 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. since that's what it says in the shell script. * Where, and when (under what circumstances) should this man page get installed? We do have a shell script, gdb_gcore.sh, that invokes gdb from the shell and performs the "gcore" function, but none of our makefiles ever install this shell script. If we do install the shell script, we probably want to rename it to "gcore" (or else the man page should mention the alternate name). I'm happy to have these issues discussed and/or resolved...
