[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#706233: Incorrect information about xm dump-core and pausing or not pausing in xm man page

[Hans van Kranenburg]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.1.4-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

During some research I encountered incorrect information in the man page
of xm, about the dump-core functionality:

The man page says: "Defaults to dumping the core without pausing the
domain if no I<OPTIONS> are specified."

When taking a look at the source code of this process, the default
behaviour is to actually pause the domain, so the man page is wrong
about this.

As there's only an option which can be given to also pause the domain
(-L, --live Dump core without pausing the domain.) this was looking
suspicious anyway.

Thanks to lindi for checking the source and confirming.
