Hi
As we know the typical entries for a process looks like this (from /proc/self/maps)
08048000-0804c000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 981204 /bin/cat
0804c000-0804d000 rwxp 00003000 08:02 981204 /bin/cat
0804d000-0806e000 rwxp 0804d000 00:00 0 [heap]

If I want to stop a running process and restore it later (ie checkpoint and restore), is it possible to do so by using these virtual memory mappings? If so, can someone tell how to go about it?
Thanks
