-        dreport creates an archive(xz compressed) consisting of the following:
-                * Configuration information
-                * Debug information
-                * A summary report
-        The type parameter controls the content of the data. The generated
-        archive is stored in the user specified location.
-
-usage: dreport [OPTION]
-
-Options:
-        -n, —-name <name>     Name to be used for the archive.
-                              Default name format obmcdump_<id>_<epochtime>
-        -d, —-dir <directory> Archive directory to copy the compressed report.
-                              Default output directory is /tmp
-        -i, —-id <id>         Dump identifier to associate with the archive.
-                              Identifiers include numeric characters.
-                              Default dump identifier is 0
-        -t, —-type <type>     Data collection type. Valid types are
-                              "user", "core", "elog".
-                              Default type is "user" initiated.
-        -p, —-path <path>     Optional contents to be included in the archive.
-                              Valid paths are absolute file path or d-bus path
-                              based on type parameter.
-                                 -Absolute file path for "core" type.
-                                 -elog d-bus object for "elog" type.
-        -s, --size <size>     Maximum allowed size(in KB) of the archive.
-                              Report will be truncated in case size exceeds
-                              this limit. Default size is unlimited.
-        -v, —-verbose         Increase logging verbosity.
-        -V, --version         Output version information.
-        -q, —-quiet           Only log fatal errors to stderr

+        dreport creates an archive(xz compressed) consisting of the following:
+                * Configuration information
+                * Debug information
+                * A summary report
+        The type parameter controls the content of the data. The generated
+        archive is stored in the user specified location.
+
+usage: dreport [OPTION]
+
+Options:
+        -n, —-name <name>     Name to be used for the archive.
+                              Default name format obmcdump_<id>_<epochtime>
+        -d, —-dir <directory> Archive directory to copy the compressed report.
+                              Default output directory is /tmp
+        -i, —-id <id>         Dump identifier to associate with the archive.
+                              Identifiers include numeric characters.
+                              Default dump identifier is 0
+        -t, —-type <type>     Data collection type. Valid types are

+                              Default type is "user" initiated.
+        -p, —-path <path>     Optional contents to be included in the archive.
+                              Valid paths are absolute file path or d-bus path
+                              based on type parameter.
+                                 -Absolute file path for "core" type.

+                              Report will be truncated in case size exceeds
+                              this limit. Default size is unlimited.
+        -v, —-verbose         Increase logging verbosity.
+        -V, --version         Output version information.
+        -q, —-quiet           Only log fatal errors to stderr
