What does '|' mean in file /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
?
In the linux kernel documentation /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt.
[/proc/sys/kernel/]core_pattern is used to specify a core dumpfile pattern name.
- If the first character of the pattern is a '|', the kernel will treat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file.
