I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. cr_register_callback() is
part of the BLCR API. It will call the specified callback when the
process receives a checkpoint request. We don't really care how that
callback is fired -- that's the problem of BLCR. The checkpoint
requests are delivered to the specified process by the cr_checkpoint
command that is part of the BLCR package.
If you are interested in the internals of the BLCR implementation,
you should contact the blcr mailing list. If I missed your question
entirely, please let me know.
