# @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
# using gdb to process the core file. However, setting @paging to false
# may be desirable because of two reasons:
# 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
# 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
#
# @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.
# 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.
#
# @begin: #optional if specified, the starting physical address.
#
# @length: #optional if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't
# want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin and @length
# want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin
# and @length

# Returns: nothing on success
