Hi,

$ readelf -n core

Notes at offset 0x00000274 with length 0x000004c0:
   Owner		Data size	Description
   CORE		0x00000090	NT_PRSTATUS (prstatus structure)
   CORE		0x0000007c	NT_PRPSINFO (prpsinfo structure)
   CORE		0x000000a0	NT_AUXV (auxiliary vector)
   CORE		0x0000006c	NT_FPREGSET (floating point registers)
   LINUX		0x00000200	NT_PRXFPREG (user_xfpregs structure)
   LINUX		0x00000030	Unknown note type: (0x00000200)


Does anyone know how to read this NT_PRPSINFO ?
Is hexdump the only way to decode this?
Are there any tools to dump this data ?

Thanks,
Fredrick
