memr Example With Compression

This demonstrates the preferred method of compressing memory read from a system versus page-level compression.

The resulting archive will be in a format that can be decompressed by common tools. Once decompressed, the resulting image will be in a format (LiME) that is already well adopted.

Each command below can also use --output=<FILE> to specify the output file (default=output.memr)

snappy (default)

go run . --compression=snappy

lz4 (comparable to snappy)

go run . --compression=lz4

zlib (not recommended; demo purposes only)

go run . --compression=zlib

gzip (not recommended; demo purposes only)

go run . --compression=gzip

none (explicitly disabled)

go run . --compression=none
