CPU_DUMPCONF(9) | Kernel Developer's Manual | CPU_DUMPCONF(9)

# NAME

`cpu_dumpconf`, `cpu_dump`, `cpu_dumpsize`, `dumpsys` —
machine-dependent kernel core dumps

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <sys/types.h>`
`#include <sys/systm.h>`

void
`cpu_dumpconf`(void);

int
`cpu_dump`(int (*dump)(dev_t, daddr_t, void *, size_t), daddr_t *blknop);

int
`cpu_dumpsize`(void);

void
`dumpsys`(void);

# DESCRIPTION

`cpu_dumpconf`() is the machine-dependent interface invoked during system bootstrap to determine the dump device and initialize machine-dependent kernel core dump state. Internally, `cpu_dumpconf`() will invoke `cpu_dumpsize`() to calculate the size of machine-dependent kernel core dump headers.

`dumpsys`() is invoked by `cpu_reboot`() to dump kernel physical memory onto the dump device. `dumpsys`() invokes `cpu_dump`() to write the machine-dependent header to the dump device at block number *blknop using the dump device's PIO dump routine specified by the dump argument.

`cpu_dumpsize`(), `cpu_dump`(), and `dumpsys`() are parts of the machine-dependent interface, however they are not exported to machine-independent code.
