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. > Or we could make it a separate > section in the "Running" chapter. 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).
