+Extended console:
+=================
+
+If '+' is prefixed to the configuration line or "extended" config file
+is set to 1, extended console support is enabled. An example boot
+param follows.
+
+ linux netconsole=+4444@10.0.0.1/eth1,9353@10.0.0.2/12:34:56:78:9a:bc
+
+Log messages are transmitted with extended metadata header in the
+following format which is the same as /dev/kmsg.
+
+ <level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>
+
+Non printable characters in <message text> are escaped using "\xff"
+notation. If the message contains optional dictionary, verbatim
+newline is used as the delimeter.
+
+If a message doesn't fit in certain number of bytes (currently 1000),
+the message is split into multiple fragments by netconsole. These
+fragments are transmitted with "ncfrag" header field added.
+
+ ncfrag=<byte-offset>/<total-bytes>
+
+For example, assuming a lot smaller chunk size, a message "the first
+chunk, the 2nd chunk." may be split as follows.
+
+ 6,416,1758426,-,ncfrag=0/31;the first chunk,
+ 6,416,1758426,-,ncfrag=16/31; the 2nd chunk.
