Subject: [PATCH 08/21] qapi: add 'tldr-dump' command for on-demand data recorder output
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 12:20:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015112044.1999748-9-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015112044.1999748-1-berrange@redhat.com>

While the data recorder is designed to dump its contents in
response to various signals that result in a QEMU crash, it
is also interesting to explicitly request dump.

This could be simply as an adhoc debugging activity, or could
be in response to a specific event like a guest OS panic
notification.
