CRIU images can be in one of formats
CRIU images can be in one of the following formats
* criu specific images in google protocol buffer format (PB format)
* criu specific images in google protocol buffer format (PB format)
== Images in criu-specific format ==
== Images in criu-specific format ==
All criu-specific image files begin with 32-bit magic cookie. Images in PB format are followed by zero or more entries of the same type (not size!), each entry is preceded with 32-bit entry size value (not including this 32-bit value itself). Optionally each entry may be followed by extra payload which depends on the entry type.
All criu-specific image files begin with 2 32-bit magic cookies. The first cookie is the type of file (see below) the second is the optional sub-type of image. Images in PB format are followed by zero or more entries of the same type (not size!), each entry is preceded with 32-bit entry size value (not including this 32-bit value itself). Optionally each entry may be followed by extra payload which depends on the entry type.
Currently there are 3 types of images
; Inventory file
: This is the image file describing the set. It doesn't have sub-type magic.
; Image file
: Regular image. Most of the text below is about these files.
; Auxiliary file
: File that is not image, but criu generates one and it happens to be in protobuf format too. For now we have only stats and irmap cache files of that type. They also have sub-type magic.
IOW protocol-buffers image files look like

The amount of entries in a image file depends on the type of file.
The amount of entries in a image file depends on the type of file.
; Array image files
; Array image files
: In these files the amount of entries can be any. You should read the image file up to the EOF to find out the exact number.

A file type can be guessed by the magic. The description of the entries in ProtocolBuffers language are in respective .proto files which reside in <code>protobuf/</code> directory in the source tree.

=== Images with binary data ===
=== Images with memory dumps ===
''Main article: [[memory dumps]]''.
Anonymous memory contents (both private and shared) is stored in two types of images:
These are
; Pagemap files
: These files contain info about which virtual regions are populated with data. The file is a set of protobuf messages.
{{Note| Even though pagemap is an array kind of image (and can be included to the previous type), first pb message is of type pagemap_head and all the following ones are of type pagemap_entry.}}
; Memory dumps
; Pages files
: These files contain memory dumps. The format is
: These contain 4k pages that are to be put into the memory according to the pagemap.
