Bug Description

Binary package hint: memdump

The manual for memdump lists

    -d dump-size (default: 0)

but using this option returns the following error message:

    memdump: invalid option -- 'd'
    memdump: usage: memdump [options]
      -b read_buffer_size (default 0, use the system page size)
      -k (dump kernel memory instead of physical memory)
      -m map_file (print memory map)
      -p memory_page_size (default 0, use the system page size)
      -s memory_dump-size (default 0, dump all memory)
      -v (verbose mode for debugging)
