[PATCH] Documentation: power: swsusp: Fix script for unswapping

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



System can have mmaped also character devices (e.g dri devices by X) or deleted
files. Running cat on character devices is really bad idea (system can hang) so
run cat only on regular files. Also mmaped files can have spaces in filenames.
