 3 Syntax as a command:  dump_mpx mpx_name
 4 
 5 
 6 Function:  forces an immediate dump of the specified multiplexer.  This
 7 causes the multiplexer to crash, hanging up any users logged in over
 8 its channels.  Therefore, if there are any such users, the number of
 9 users is printed, and you are asked if the dump should still be taken.
10 Any reply other than "yes" causes the dump not to be taken, and the
11 multiplexer to continue running.  All the channels in the CDT that
12 match the starname a.* are hung up by this command.  This command can
13 be used in ring 4 only.

21 Notes:  Individual multiplexers respond to this command in whatever way
22 is appropriate to their implementation.  For FNPs a message is printed,
23 giving the pathname of the segment containing the dump of the FNP.
24 This is not a printable segment; its contents can be examined and
25 interpreted by a system programmer, using the online_dump_fnp (od_fnp)
26 or debug_fnp command.

28 This command should only be used at the direction of the system
29 programming staff.  The answering service automatically reloads a
30 multiplexer if it crashes.
