SYNOPSIS
checkpoint-merge [options] src dst [paths...]
- src
The checkpoint to merge files from. - dst
The new checkpoint. - paths
Paths to checkpoint files. This parameter may be omitted, in which case paths are derived from the source checkpoint.
DESCRIPTION
Merges all ancestors of a given checkpoint into a new checkpoint. The output checkpoint therefore has no dependencies; it is an absolute checkpoint. This is useful if you, for example, want to distribute a checkpoint.
Note that this also merges image files with disk and memory contents, to make sure the output checkpoint really is self-contained.
With the --checkpoints-only option, the resulting checkpoint will still
have references to initial image files, so it will not really be entirely
self-contained. However, it is likely to be smaller and the merge itself
takes less time.
Any recordings in the given checkpoint, i.e. the most recent source checkpoint, are discarded.
