try on your machine

The command coredumpctl list ${program} is used to list all the core dump files generated by a particular program specified by ${program}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

coredumpctl: It is a command-line tool in Linux systems that interacts with the systemd service to manage and inspect core dump files.
list: This is an argument passed to coredumpctl command, specifying that we want to list the core dump files.
${program}: It is a placeholder indicating the program for which the core dump files need to be listed. You need to replace ${program} with the actual program name or identifier for which you want to see the core dumps.

When you run the command with the appropriate program name, it will display a list of all the core dump files generated by that program, along with some additional information such as the time of the dump, PID (Process ID), and signal that caused the dump. This allows you to inspect and analyze the core dump files for debugging purposes.
