Hmmm, what section of the manual would you think the
"generate-core-file"
command should go in?

We could put it into "Killing the child process", perhaps after
changing the section's name a bit. Or we could make it a separate
section in the "Running" chapter.

My first thought too -- only this really has nothing to do
with killing the child. We can take a corefile snapshot of
a living child, and then continue to run/debug the child.

I like that better. This is something you would do while
running the child. OTOH, so is almost everything else.
I was looking for a section involving files, but of course
gdb does not write very many files (mostly reads them).

For what its worth, the save command (assuming it gets off the ground
:-) will also need a home. It would make sense for that comand to also
go in the same section as gcore.

Then perhaps make a new section about commands which read and write
auxiliary files, and put the docs of gcore there. The others will be
added as they are coded.
