33# @dump-guest-memory:
34#
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.
37#
38# @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
39# using gdb to process the core file.
40#
41# IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes
26ec4e53
PM
42# of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a
43# malicious guest pretending to be large.

44#
45# Also, paging=true has the following limitations:
46#
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
51# goes in real-mode
52# 3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64.
53#
54# @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
55# protocols are:
56#
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
60# is the fd's name.
61#
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).
65#
66# @begin: if specified, the starting physical address.
67#
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
70# and @length
71#
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)
76#
77# Note: All boolean arguments default to false
78#
79# Returns: nothing on success
