This is an attempt to cleanup the man page. I am very sorry this comes in this one big patch. Here are the changes: 1. Use *BOLD* for literals, 'ITALIC' for arguments (variable substituions) 2. Do not use <> for arguments, as they are already marked so (italic) 3. Remove details about "criu exec" and remote syscalls execution; add note that it's obsoleted by Compel. 4. Some descriptions are shrunk, some made longer, many are rephrased. 5. Formatting: use second-level lists (*value*:::) where appropriate (mostly instead of bulleted lists of values). 6. Properly show comma-separated lists of arguments (with second pair of [] and ... 7. Proper use of terms 'option' and 'argument' (*--option* 'argument'). 8. Other fixes to formatting and English (such as missing a/the articles). ... 98. Change author to be "the CRIU team". 99. Update copyright years, copyright holder is Parallels Holdings.

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.
Pages worth starting with are:
