Aravinda, can you use the sial_builtin() API call to install that function from your
application?
It seems like this is a particular use case for makedumpfile only.
You should be able to do this like sial.c does it for the curtask() builtin.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] Extend the SIAL built-in functions to include memset function.
----- Original Message -----
The memset function will be used to specify the virtual address
and the length of the data to be scrubbed in the dump file when
the SIAL macro is used with the makedumpfile command. The
makedumpfile command is currently being enhanced to accept SIAL
macros to scrub data in the dump file.
When used with crash, SIAL macro using memset function will
have no effect (as intended as dump file should not be modified).
This is because the API_PUTMEM call back function implemented
in crash extension layer is a no-op.
OK, but then I don't understand the point of adding this to the
crash utility's version of libsial?
