Issue

The dotnet-gcdump report command was failing when used with an existing dump file:

$ dotnet dotnet-gcdump report fulldump.dmp
Specify only one of -f|--file or -p|--process-id or --dport|--diagnostic-port.

Root Cause

There were two issues:

  1. ProcessIdOption was defined as a non-nullable Option<int> but was being used as a nullable (int?) in the code. This caused the condition processId.HasValue to always be true, making the command think both a file and a process ID were specified.
  2. The error message referenced a non-existent "-f|--file" option (the file is actually specified as a positional argument, not an option).

Changes

  1. Changed ProcessIdOption to be nullable (Option<int?>) to properly support the code logic that checks processId.HasValue.
  2. Updated the error message to replace "-f|--file" with "gcdump_filename" to accurately reflect the command syntax.

These changes allow the dotnet-gcdump report fulldump.dmp command to work correctly by properly handling the case when only a dump file is specified.

Fixes #5483.
