We (may) have 3 types of namespace objects in criu -- criu's one, root task's one and others. All of them sometimes make sense and we differentiate them in a weird way -- by checking the ns->pid field against getpid() or by comparing with root_item's. The proposal is to mark ns_id objects explicitly with type field. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com>
CRIU (Checkpoint and Restore in Userspace)
An utility to checkpoint/restore tasks. Using this tool, you can freeze a running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it to a hard drive as a collection of files. You can then use the files to restore and run the application from the point it was frozen at. The distinctive feature of the CRIU project is that it is mainly implemented in user space.
The project home is at http://criu.org.

- A simple example of usage
- More sophisticated example with graphical app
