The name of this + directory should not be relied upon to + be in this format, only that it's unique + among all dumps. For determining the type + and ID of the dump, use the id and type files. + Do not rely on any particular size of dump + type or dump id. + =============== =============================================== + + Each dump has the following files: + + =============== =============================================== + id: An ASCII representation of the dump ID + in hex (e.g. '0x01') + type: An ASCII representation of the type of + dump in the format "0x%x %s" with the ID + in hex and a description of the dump type + (or 'unknown'). + Type '0xffffffff unknown' is used when + we could not get the type from firmware. + e.g. '0x02 System/Platform Dump' + dump: A binary file containing the dump. + The size of the dump is the size of this file. + acknowledge: When 'ack' is written to this, we will + acknowledge that we've retrieved the + dump to the service processor.
