Controlling Separate Debug Files
The following command line options and CLI variables control how TotalView handles separate debug files.
Controls whether TotalView looks for either a build ID or a .gnu_debuglink section in image files:
Command line options -gnu_debuglink and -no_gnu_debuglink
State variable TV::gnu_debuglink
This option basically turns on or off the functionality to support separate debug files.
Sets the search path to use when looking for debug files referenced by a .gnu_debuglink section:
Command line option -gnu_debuglink_search_path
State variable TV::gnu_debuglink_search_path
Sets the search path to use when looking for debug files referenced by a .note.gnu.build-id section:
Command line option -gnu_debuglink_build_id_search_path
State variable TV::gnu_debuglink_build_id_search_path
Specifies the global debug directory:
Command line option -gnu_debuglink_global_directory
State variable TV::gnu_debuglink_global_directory
Validates the separate .gnu_debuglink debug file’s checksum:
Command line option -gnu_debuglink_checksum
State variable TV::gnu_debuglink_checksum
