 » Table of Contents

In order to dump only those parts of memory that are most useful for debugging a problem, HP-UX divides the pages of memory into several classes. The rightmost column in this table shows which classes of memory are included in a crash dump under most circumstances. However, these defaults can be overridden by the system administrator (see “Crash Dump Configuration”). Also, there are some rare circumstances in which only full dumps are possible.
