#        Partial paths look like relative filenames.  They do not begin
#        with a prefix.  The matching rules for partial paths are subtle but
#        designed to make specifying objects easy.  At each level of the
#        composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute path.
#        The first match is not returned.  At least two matches are searched
#        for.  A successful result is only returned if only one match is

# If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base file and

# file as its backing file.  This can be used to stream a subset of the backing

# @dump-guest-memory
#
# Dump guest's memory to vmcore. It is a synchronous operation that can take
# very long depending on the amount of guest memory. This command is only
# supported on i386 and x86_64.
#
# @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
#          using gdb to process the core file.
#
#          IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes
#                     of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a
#                     malicious guest pretending to be large.
#
#          Also, paging=true has the following limitations:
#
#             1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted
#                memory, which cannot be trusted
#             2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For
#                example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state
#                goes in real-mode
#
# @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
#            protocols are:
#
#            1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following
#               string is the file's path.
#            2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string
#               is the fd's name.
#
# @begin: #optional if specified, the starting physical address.
#
# @length: #optional if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't
#          want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin

# Other fields / optargs can be used to override fields of the generic ACPI
# table header; refer to the ACPI specification 5.0, section 5.2.6 System
# Description Table Header. If a header field is not overridden, then the
# corresponding value from the concatenated blob is used (in case of @file), or
# it is filled in with a hard-coded value (in case of @data).
#
# String fields are copied into the matching ACPI member from lowest address
# upwards, and silently truncated / NUL-padded to length.
