In Rocky 9, one of my applications ends in a deadlock. For the same, there are threads involved.  
I need to check the deadlocked process. How can I generate a core dump and how can I crash my application from the command line to create a core dump.?  
Please guide.

You could try sending sigquit (3) from the kill command.
