A core dump is a snapshot capturing the state of a program at the moment it crashes. This memory dump includes the processors state and the program's memory, including variables, program data, and processor registers. The data stored in core dump files, also records the contents of the system memory and CPU registers. Backtraces are generated during a program crash. They show the sequence of function calls leading to the crash called the call stack.
