This page describes the CRiu Image Tool.

== Functionality ==

=== Convert images to human-readable and back ===

This is the replacement for (rather nasty) criu show code. Also this is the way to edit the images before restoring from them.

=== Convert to json (and back) ===

Same as before, but the human-readable format is JSON

=== Generate core files out of task images ===

All the needed information is in core-$pid.img and pagemap-$pid.img

=== On-the-fly conversion ===

There's an idea to make CRIU spawn CRIT and read images "through" it, to allow for at-the-restore-time modifications

=== Convert between different image versions ===

Right now we store the images version in inventory.img and collect info about [[what's bad with v1 images]]. If some day we have v2, CRIT will convert from v1. And for backward compatibility we'll use on-the-fly conversion when restoring from old images.
