I'm rethinking about what command options makedumpfile should have.
If once we add an option to makedumpfile, we cannot change it easily,
so I'd like to think carefully.
The calculated size might be useful if it's printed so that it can be
easily post-processed by scripts, e.g. for automated tests. If so,
makedumpfile already prints its statistics with "--message-level 16",
and it might be useful to also print them by an option like "--show-stats".
# makedumpfile --show-stats -l -d 31 vmcore dump.ld31
total_pages xxx
excluded_pages yyy
...
write_bytes zzz
Also, if we also have "--dry-run" option to not write actually, it's
explicit and meets Bhupesh's use case. What do you think?
It seems that adding a statistical option could be better than nothing.
Do you have any decisions on this issue? Or any thoughts?
On my end this makes sense, I'll try to add the --dry-run and
--show-stats options as Kazu suggested and post a new version.
