Description

This module creates a memory dump of a process (to disk) and downloads the file
for offline analysis.

Options for DUMP_TYPE affect the completeness of the dump:

"full" retrieves the entire process address space (all allocated pages);
"standard" excludes image files (e.g. DLLs and EXEs in the address space) as
well as memory mapped files. As a result, this option can be significantly
smaller in size.
