# 244320 16-Dec-2012 pjd

Implement -m option to savecore(8) that allows to limit number of kernel
dumps stored. Once the limit is reached it restarts from 0.

# 244218 14-Dec-2012 pjd

- When checking if a dump exists on the given device there is no need to
provide dump directory. Eliminate this redundant argument. This changes
the usage, but the only risk here is that a warning will be printed
about directory given as device.

- Update usage of -C option.

- When clearing dump header from the given device there is also no need to
provide dump directory, although additional arguments for -c were not
documented.

- Document that -v can be used with -c and that list of devices can be given.

# 119734 04-Sep-2003 dougb

Add a flag that reports the existence of a dump, and does nothing else.

The immediate purpose for this option is to use it in rc.d so that we
can make savecore behavior conditional.

Tremendous assistance with ideas and sanity checking provided by tjr
and b@etek.chalmers.se.


# 102231 21-Aug-2002 trhodes

mdoc(7) police: restore the correct sorting of SEE ALSO.


# 83140 06-Sep-2001 kris

* Switch from doing compress(1)ed crashdumps with the -z flag to using
gzip(1). gdb doesn't understand these, but then again it didn't
understand compressed crashdumps either.
* Change a stray lseek() into a Lseek()
* Remove the extraneous prototype for log() which has apparently never
existed in FreeBSD's sources

# 22990 22-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 18914 13-Oct-1996 fenner

Make the savecore command work like the man page says:
- make minfree work by getting the dump size before checking to see
if the dump will fit on the filesystem
- also fail to dump if no minfree is specified but there are not enough
free blocks.

Fix a typo in the man page.

# 3041 23-Sep-1994 wollman

Get rid of _PATH_UNIX completely; use getbootfile(3) instead.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
_PATH_UNIX is currently defined as the literal string "don't use this".
I am of two minds about this myself, but wanted to get something into the
tree as quickly as possible.
