57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58.Fn cpu_dumpconf
59is the machine-dependent interface invoked during system bootstrap to
60determine the dump device and initialize machine-dependent kernel core
61dump state.  Internally,
62.Fn cpu_dumpconf
63will invoke
64.Fn cpu_dumpsize
65to calculate the size of machine-dependent kernel core dump headers.
66.Pp
67.Fn dumpsys
68is invoked by
69.Fn cpu_reboot
70to dump kernel physical memory onto the dump device.
71.Fn dumpsys
72invokes
73.Fn cpu_dump
74to write the machine-dependent header to the dump device at block number
75.Fa *blknop
76using the dump device's PIO dump routine specified by the
77.Fa dump
78argument.
79.Pp
80.Fn cpu_dumpsize ,
81.Fn cpu_dump ,
82and
83.Fn dumpsys
84are parts of the machine-dependent interface, however they are not
85exported to machine-independent code.
