Size of a core dump file for a process (MAXCORESIZE)

Specify the maximum core dump file size (in bytes) that a process can create. This sets the POSIX RLIMIT_CORE soft and hard resource values that a process receives when it is identified as a process. It also specifies the limit when the processes are initiated by a daemon process using an exec() after a setuid().

Default: 4194304 bytes (4 megabytes)

Range: 0-2147483647 bytes (2 gigabytes).

Note: Specifying a value of 2147483647 (2 gigabytes) indicates an unlimited core file size.

The size is specified in bytes by default. You can select other units of measurement if desired, including kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes. When the value is stored on the target system, it is converted to bytes.
