It is. The criu_req_type.PRE_DUMP coincides with the pre-dump CLI command.

If you're familiar with Python you can try to read the p.haul's dumping
code, it does the incremental dumps via RPC.

No, you haven't missed anything. The RPC is really poorly documented on
the wiki. We'll try to improve that.

Thanks,
