35 # Dump guest's memory to vmcore. It is a synchronous operation that can take
36 # very long depending on the amount of guest memory.
38 # @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
39 # using gdb to process the core file.
41 # IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes
42 # of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a
43 # malicious guest pretending to be large.
45 # Also, paging=true has the following limitations:
47 # 1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted
48 # memory, which cannot be trusted
49 # 2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For
50 # example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state
52 # 3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64.
54 # @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
57 # 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following
58 # string is the file's path.
59 # 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string
62 # @detach: if true, QMP will return immediately rather than
63 # waiting for the dump to finish. The user can track progress
64 # using "query-dump". (since 2.6).
66 # @begin: if specified, the starting physical address.
68 # @length: if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't
69 # want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin
72 # @format: if specified, the format of guest memory dump. But non-elf
73 # format is conflict with paging and filter, ie. @paging, @begin and
74 # @length is not allowed to be specified with non-elf @format at the
75 # same time (since 2.0)
77 # Note: All boolean arguments default to false
79 # Returns: nothing on success
