51 # Dump guest's memory to vmcore. It is a synchronous operation that
52 # can take very long depending on the amount of guest memory.
54 # @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This
55 # allows using gdb to process the core file.
57 # IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes
58 # of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a malicious guest
59 # pretending to be large.
61 # Also, paging=true has the following limitations:
63 # 1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have
64 # corrupted memory, which cannot be trusted
65 # 2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For
66 # example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state
68 # 3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64.
70 # @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The
71 # supported protocols are:
73 # 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following
74 # string is the file's path.
75 # 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string
78 # @detach: if true, QMP will return immediately rather than waiting
79 # for the dump to finish. The user can track progress using
80 # "query-dump". (since 2.6).
82 # @begin: if specified, the starting physical address.
84 # @length: if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't want
85 # to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin and
88 # @format: if specified, the format of guest memory dump. But non-elf
89 # format is conflict with paging and filter, ie. @paging, @begin
90 # and @length is not allowed to be specified with non-elf @format
91 # at the same time (since 2.0)
