A single build of \fBvmcore-dmesg\fP should work against any linux vmcore written created on any architecture. .\"These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long .\"options starting with two dashes (`-'). .\"A summary of options is included below. .\"For a complete description, see the Info files. .SH SEE ALSO kexec(8) .SH AUTHOR vmcore-dmesg was written by Eric Biederman.
