+        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/dreport
+        -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".

+                              parameter. This is useful to include application
+                              core in the dump.
+        -s, --size <size>     Maximum allowed size(in KB) of the archive.
+                              Report will be truncated in case size exceeds
+                              this limit. Default size is 500KB.
+        -v, —-verbose         Increase logging verbosity.
+        -V, --version         Output version information.
+        -q, —-quiet           Only log fatal errors to stderr
