Hello guys! We're trying to save a process's state into a file. This would include the proc structure, user structure, kernel stack, text, data, and stack regions of the process. Is it possible to do this through the /proc filesystem? If so, how do you program /proc? What are the file formats? What do the files (e.g. mem, status, regs, ctl, ...) stand for? What references can you recommend? Another option we thought about is through the generation of a core file. Does the core file contain the entire process state? Any other suggestions saving the process state? We'd really appreciate all the help you can give us. Thanks! Please answer... :-( ============================================================================== Gavin Lim Gavin@linux1.dlsu.edu.ph ==============================================================================
