/nologo Suppresses the Microsoft startup banner display.
/pid processId Produces a dump file for the specified process.
/out outputFile Saves the dump information to the specified file.
/? Displays command syntax and options for the tool.

Example

The following command creates a minidump file for the process with the identification number 12345 and saves the output in the file myDump.
