Command-Line Syntax

The TotalView command-line syntax is as follows:

Format

totalview [options ] [ executable [ core-file | recording-file ] ] [-a[args ] ]

or

totalview [options ] -args executable [args ]

Arguments

options

TotalView options.

executable

Specifies the path name of the executable being debugged. This can be an absolute or relative path name. The executable must be compiled with debugging symbols turned on, normally the -g compiler option. Any multiprocess programs that call fork(), vfork(), or execve() should be linked with the dbfork library.

core-file

Specifies the name of a core file. Use this argument in addition to executable when you want to examine a core file with TotalView.

recording-file

Specifies the name of a saved replay recording session file. Use this argument in addition to executable when you want to replay the recording session with TotalView.

args

Default target program arguments.

Description

If you specify mutually exclusive options on the same command line (for example, ‑dynamic and ‑no_dynamic), the last option listed is used.
