Core Dumps
----------
In case of crashes of the client software, having a core dump helps to
debug the issue tremendously.
The client is able to write a core dump in case of crashing on Linux and
MacOSX. To enable that, the environment variable ``OWNCLOUD_CORE_DUMP`` has
to be defined.
For example
```
OWNCLOUD_CORE_DUMP=1 owncloud
```
starts the client with core dumping enabled. Core dumps appear in the
current working directory, and since they can be fairly large, it is
important to have plenty of disk space when running with dumps enabled.
If a core dump file should be transfered back to the developers it
should be compressed properly before.
