It is a synchronous operation that can take +# very long depending on the amount of guest memory. +# +# @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows +# using gdb to process the core file. +# +# IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes +# of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a +# malicious guest pretending to be large. +# +# Also, paging=true has the following limitations: +# +# 1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted +# memory, which cannot be trusted +# 2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For +# example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state +# goes in real-mode +# 3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64. +# +# @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported +# protocols are: +# +# 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following +# string is the file's path. +# 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string +# is the fd's name. +# +# @detach: if true, QMP will return immediately rather than +# waiting for the dump to finish. The user can track progress +# using "query-dump". (since 2.6). +# +# @begin: if specified, the starting physical address. +# +# @length: if specified, the memory size, in bytes.
