-----------------------------------------------------
|   This is an external build of NvDebugDump        |
|                 Version 01.01                     |
-----------------------------------------------------
Usage: /usr/bin/nvidia-debugdump [options]

Options include:

    [-l | --list]:
	List all NVIDIA GPU devices in this computer

    [-d | --device]:
	Device ID
	Devices are numbered starting at zero (0). Therefore,
	if you only have one GPU, you may either specify zero
	(0) for Device ID, or simply omit this option.

    [-f | --file]:
	Input or output file name, such as: out.zip. If you
	omit this parameter, then a default file name of
	"dump.zip" will be used, in cases in which a file
	name is required (such as for dumping or decoding).

    [-v | --verbose]:
	Print extra information while running the program

    [-z | --debug]:
	Print LOTS of extra information.
	This is "debug levels of verbosity", and is intended
	mainly for programmers.

    [-h | --help]:
	Print a detailed usage description and exit.
	This occurs regardless of the presence of any other
	options.

    [-V | --version]:
	Print version information. May be combined with other
	options.

    [-D | --dumpall]:
	Dump all components. Connect to the RM, and retrieve
	a complete diagnostic dump for the specified device.
	Note that this is done for ALL DEVICES in your system,
	unless you limit it to one device with the "--device"
	option.


    [-N | --nvlogonly]:
	Dumps nvlog . Connects to the RM, and retrieves
	nvlog only.


    [-I | --ioctl]:
	Use ioctl instead of NVML to retrieve nvlog
	from the driver.


Example: /usr/bin/nvidia-debugdump --list
   (Lists all of the GPU devices on this computer)

Example: /usr/bin/nvidia-debugdump --dumpall
   (Dumps the all components, in all GPU devices,
    to file dump.zip)

Example: /usr/bin/nvidia-debugdump --dumpall --device 2 --file RunOne_dump.zip
   (Dumps the second GPU device, to file RunOne_dump.zip)
