NextGen TotalView for HPC Reference Guide : PART I Using the CLI : Chapter 4 Batch Debugging Using tvscript : tvscript External Script Files : Example tvscript Script File
Example tvscript Script File
The following example tvscript file registers several action point handlers when an action point (breakpoint) is hit. When the handlers are called, they display information about the action point event. The script also installs an error handler, which is called if an error occurs during execution of the program. Run the script as follows:
tvscript -script_file script_file program
Where program is the name of the program to run under the control of tvscript. This tvscript example, tvscript_example.tvd, is available in the TotalView examples directory.
This script installs an error handler and an action point handler. When an error is encountered during execution, tvscript passes an array of information to the error handler and prints information to the log. Similarly, when an action point is hit, it passes an array of information to the action point handler and prints information to the log. These arrays are described in "Event API".
# Get the process so we have some information about it
tvscript_log "PID: \
             [tvscript_get_process_property 1 "syspid"]";
tvscript_log "Status: \
             [tvscript_get_process_property 1 "state"]";
tvscript_log "Executable: \
             [tvscript_get_process_property 1 "executable"]";
