Perform the dump procedure without writing memory pages into the
image files and prepare to service page requests over the
network. When *dump* runs in this mode it presumes that
*lazy-pages* daemon will connect to it and fetch memory pages to
lazily inject them into the restored process address space. This
option is intended for post-copy (lazy) migration and should be
used in conjunction with *restore* with appropriate options.

Launches *criu* in lazy-pages daemon mode.
The *lazy-pages* daemon is responsible for managing user-level demand
paging for the restored processes. It gets information required to
fill the process memory pages from the *restore* and from the
checkpont directory. When a restored process access certain memory
page for the first time, the *lazy-pages* daemon injects its contents
into the process address space. The memory pages that are not yet
requested by the restored processes are injected in the background.
