When do the contents of /cores folder get emptied or flushed?

Restart?
By periodic?
Manually?
Never by default?

I can only find man core and setrlimit but can't find when it is supposed to be emptied or flushed. TN2124 is closest that I can find, still not when flushed...
Anyone got a clue?

Oh - and some applications to view the core dumps would be nice too...
Cat and tail show just junk.
