Yeah, I'd like to hear more too. It doesn't make much sense to me to add something completely new if it can be served mostly by the existing infrastructure. Also, what do you mean by "disruption"? You mentioned signal but PTRACE_SEIZE is completely transparent w.r.t. signals. If you mean without stopping the target process's execution, what are you trying to use the dumping for and how much gain are we talking about? Also, isn't it kinda mandatory to stop the process to get a consistent dump? What am I missing here?
