This page collects stuff that is considered to be deprecated (and is about to be removed)

Current plan

Per-pid fdinfo.img file
The new layout (marked with respective bit in inventory) is per-fdtable-id
Per-pid file locks
Now all locks sit in the file-locks.img file
Per-pid rlimits, itimers and posix_timers image file
Now all this stuff sit in the core entry
The criu exec action
Should be deprecated with Compel
The --namespaces option
It was used when we didn't have /proc/pid/ns stuff, now it's useless (will be deprecated in 2.2)
Per-PID logs
Not sure whether anybody is using it
Old page-read
Used at ancient times when no pagemaps existed. Can be dropped.
No file records for ttys
See collect_one_tty(). Older versions of criu didn't have reg_file_entry for ttys.

Already deprecated stuff

The criu show action
Deprecated in 2.0 with CRIT
No ids.img files
We've been writing these files since at least v0.4 (deprecated since 2.1)
