<p>Bitcoin core is a mining software.
You can use rpc <code>setgenerate</code> to turn on the mining process.
However, it is nearly impossible for a normal CPU to mine a block(to get rewards) now.
At present, you can't earn anything with a normal CPU now even you join a mining pool. (Thanks to @Murch 's correction)</p>

I don't get it. Why not ? He can earn very little bitcoin at least, although the reward is less than the cost.

I sincerely doubt that he can earn anything at all with CPU mining Bitcoin. Are you actually mining Bitcoin with a home computer and even getting any payouts at all?
