Hi,

It seems the latest upstream kexec-tools does support a complete man
page for kdump yet:

DESCRIPTION
kdump does not have a man page yet.

I would propose having a propose having a man page for kdump (as the
feature is quite useful and has matured over time).

I can work to cook up a patch for the same.

Please let me know if this makes sense or if there are any objections
to the same.

Regards,
Bhupesh

This tool(/usr/sbin/kdump) looks like "cp /proc/vmcore" under kdump,
does anyone know its existent/potential users?
