2.6: Saving Images

In SCM, the ability to save running program images is called dump (see Dump). In order to make dump available to SCM, build with feature `dump'. dumped executables are compatible with dynamic linking.

Most of the code for dump is taken from `emacs-19.34/src/unex*.c'. No modifications to the emacs source code were required to use `unexelf.c'. Dump has not been ported to all platforms. If `unexec.c' or `unexelf.c' don't work for you, try using the appropriate `unex*.c' file from emacs.
