Commit Message
The gcore man page says that the default prefix for a generated core
file will be 'gcore', i.e. we'll create files like 'gcore.pid'. In
reality the default is 'core'.
As far as I can tell, the default has been 'core' for years, and the
docs used to say that the default was 'core', but the docs were
changed by mistake in commit:
commit 129eb0f1f16dc7a49799a024a7bcb109d954a1e7
Date: Fri Jul 27 00:52:23 2018 -0400
Improve gcore manpage and clarify "-o" option
So, lets bring the docs back inline with the code.
