Since the tools and overall concept are still under heavy development, there are some known limitations applied, in particular only pure x86-64 environment is supported, no IA32 emulation allowed.

                to restore previously checkpointed processes
        * 'show'
                to decode binary dump files and show their contents in human
                readable format
