The modes are\n\n0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed\n privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped\n\n1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is\n owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended\n for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.\n\n2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped\n readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but\n not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will\n not overwrite one another or other files.
