This looks pretty cool, but I think having this as "info proc"
subcommand is wrong:

(gdb) help info

info proc -- Show /proc process information about any running process

Corefiles have nothing to do with /proc and many operating systems
don't even have such a thing.


All right, good point. Do you have any suggestion for this? Should I
create another class of command?

"info core"?

There are probably a bunch of things we could expose about a
core file that would not make sense for a process, and vice versa.
