### 8.6.3 core option (-C)

This is the “leave a core dump on a failure exit” option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

- must be compiled in by defining `HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H` during the compilation.

Many systems default to a zero sized core limit. If the system has the sys/resource.h header and if this option is supplied, then in the failure exit path, autogen will attempt to set the soft core limit to whatever the hard core limit is. If that does not work, then an administrator must raise the hard core size limit.
