Re: misc/44173: dump(8) format is not documented

[eric%cirr.com@localhost (Eric Schnoebelen)]

The dump output file format is documented in
/usr/include/protocols/dumprestore.h

That said, the output of dump(8) is not traditionally considered
portable. It is/was only readable on systems of the same
operating system and architecture.  I believe NetBSD has removed
the architecture dependence over the years.

(having flashbacks of implementing the original "large file"
edition of dump/restore for ConvexOS 10.0..  Make the visions
stop, please! :D)
