− | '''CRtools''' is an utility to checkpoint/restore process tree. Unlike checkpoint/restore implemented completely in kernel space,
| |
− | it tries to achieve the same target mostly in user space.

− | === Checkpoint ===
| |
− | | |
− | The checkpoint procedure relies heavily on '''/proc''' file system (it's a general place where crtools takes all the information it needs).
| |
− | | |
− | This includes:
| |
− | * Files descriptors information (via '''/proc/$pid/fd''' and '''/proc/$pid/fdinfo''')
| |
− | * Pipes parameters
| |
− | * Memory maps (via '''/proc/$pid/maps''')
| |
− | | |
− | Though not all parameters can be observed this way, say the current '''brk()''' value of a process is not exported at all.
