coredumpctl: List all captured core dumps.
$ coredumpctl list
try on your machine

The command coredumpctl list is used in Linux systems to list the registered core dumps. Core dumps are files that contain the memory image of a crashed process, and they can be analyzed to understand the cause of the crash.

When the coredumpctl list command is executed in a terminal, it retrieves the information about the registered core dumps and displays it in a tabular format. The displayed information typically includes the time of the crash, the process ID (PID) of the crashed process, the executable file associated with the process, the name or path of the core dump file, and the size of the core dump.

This command can be useful for system administrators or developers to review the available core dumps and determine which ones to investigate further. By analyzing the core dumps, they may be able to identify the problem that caused the crash and work towards a solution.
