Is there a way to configure the directory where core dump files are placed for a specific process?

I have a daemon process written in C++ for which I would like to configure the core dump directory. Optionally the filename pattern should be configurable, too.

I know about /proc/sys/kernel/core_name_format, however this would change the pattern and directory structure globally.

Apache has the directive CoreDumpDirectory - so it seems to be possible.
