'''libcriu''' is a C API for CRIU, which is a simple wrapper around our [[RPC]]. Although you can use [[RPC]] directly, libcriu is a wrapper providing the interface that is much easier to use from C code. Note that [[RPC]] is supported in the first place, and if you want the most recent set of features you should probably use [[RPC]] directly.

=== restore as a child ===
This one is special. It will fork and exec criu swrk (Service WoRKer) to allow restoring process as a caller child. Calling "exec" implies some restrictions, as, for example, one should make sure, that criu binary is present in PATH and has suid bit set (see [[Usage#Security]]).
