file will not tell you which program dumped core.
file with its options will tell you a lot about a "file" but a core file is
a "dump" of information for debugging perpourses.
core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file (signal 11), Intel 80386, version
The above is caused by a "badly written C program" guess who wrote it, -;)
the program name is 'gcu' but "file" does not show the name from the core
file, gdb does however.
