  −
        * 'restore'
  −
                to restore previously checkpointed processes
  −

  −
        * 'check'
  −

  −
    commands allpies to any <command>.
  −
 
  −
-s::
  −
    Leave tasks in stopped state after checkpoint instead of killing them.
  −
 
  −
-f <file>::

    This option is valid for 'show' command only and allows to see content of
  −
    the <file> specified.
  −

-t <pid>::

  −
 
  −
-d::
  −
    Detach 'crtools' itself once restore is complete.
  −
 
  −
-n <ns>::
  −
    Checkpoint namespaces. Namespaces must be separated by comma.

-o <file>::

    Write logging messages to 'file'.
  −
 
  −
-v <num>::
  −
    Set logging level to 'num'. Valid options are: 0 - (silent, error messages

== Examples ==
  −
 
  −
To checkpoint a program with pid 1234 and write all image files into directory checkpoint one should type
  −
 
  −
<pre>
  −
# crtools dump -D checkpoint -t 1234
  −
</pre>
  −
 
  −
To restore this program detaching crtools itself, one should type
  −
 
  −
<pre>
  −
crtools restore -d -D checkpoint -t 1234
  −
</pre>
  −
 
  −
"Detaching" (the <code>-d</code> option) here means, that crtools will exit after restoring the processes
  −
and the latter will get re-parent-ed to the init task.
     −
To close a file descriptor number 1 in task with pid 1234 run
