MINICOREDUMPER_TRIGGER(1)

💖 MINICOREDUMPER_TRIGGER 💖

okay bestie so this is the manual page for minicoredumper_trigger, part of the minicoredumper crew, and honestly? she's the one who says "everybody dump NOW" and the whole room listens. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

minicoredumper_trigger — a tool to trigger dumps for all applications using libminicoredumper(7). like, all of them. no app left behind. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

minicoredumper_trigger dump-directory dump-scope

two args, that's it, she's low maintenance and high impact 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what she does is: she dumps the data that was registered with libminicoredumper(7) and drops it into the dump-directory — and heads up, that has to be an absolute path, no relative-path silliness, she needs the whole thing spelled out. 📍

and she's picky in the best way: only the data that was registered with a scope value less than or equal to the dump-scope gets dumped. so dump-scope is basically the vibe check, and anything with a bigger scope number did not pass it. 🚫✨

🔥 NOTES 🔥

so here's the tea ☕ — for her to actually pull the registered data out of applications that are built on libminicoredumper(7), she needs two permissions:

• permission to read the shared memory that's managed by minicoredumper_regd(1) 🧠
• permission to read the process memory of the applications 🫀

and if some of those permissions are missing? she doesn't throw a whole tantrum, she just dumps as much as she can. partial queen energy, we love a graceful degradation. 👑

ngl, if you're getting less data than you expected, check those permissions first. she's not being dramatic, she's literally doing her best with what she's allowed to touch. 😭
