Contains the arguments to be passed the next time the process starts, with TotalView ID dpid.

Contains the argument passed to a new process when no ARGS(dpid) variable is defined.

Controls whether the Stack Transform feature tries to automatically detect if an application being debugged could benefit from stack filtering. (As of the 2017.2 release, the Stack Transform feature tests only for Python). If enabled (the default) and Python is detected, the related STACK_TRACE_TRANSFORM_ENABLEDvariable is set to true to enable stack trace filtering.

By default, a Python and C/C++ application has stack transformation enabled if Python is automatically detected. If you don’t want automatic detection enabled, disable it prior to starting the application:

Contains the value for the “stop_when_done” property for newly created action points. This property defines additional elements to stop when a barrier point is satisfied or a thread encounters this action point. You can also set this value using the When barrier hit, stop value in the Action Points Page of the File > Preferences dialog box. The values are:

This variable is the same as the TV::barrier_stop_allvariable.

Contains the default value used when a barrier point is satisfied. You can also set this value using the -stop_when_done command-line option or the When barrier done, stop value in the Action Points Page of the File > Preferences dialog box. The values are:

In all cases, TotalViewreleases the satisfaction set when the barrier is satisfied.

This variable is the same as the TV::barrier_stop_when_donevariable.

Contains the control group for the process with the TotalView ID dpid. Setting this variable moves process dpid into a different control group. For example, the following command moves process 3 into the same group as process 1:

Enables some Emacs-like commands for use when editing text in the CLI. These editing commands are always available in the CLI window of the TotalView GUI. However, they are available only in the stand­-alone CLI if the terminal in which it is running supports cursor positioning and clear-to-end-of-line. The commands you can use are:

^A: Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line

^B: Moves the cursor one character backward

^D: Deletes the character to the right of cursor

^E: Moves the cursor to the end of the line

^F: Moves the cursor one character forward

^K: Deletes all text to the end of line

^N: Retrieves the next entered command (only works after ^P)

^P: Retrieves the previously entered command

^R or ^L: Redraws the line

^U: Deletes all text from the cursor to the beginning of the line

Rubout or Backspace: Deletes the character to the left of the cursor

Contains a colon-separated list of the directories searched for source and executable files.

Contains pairs of regular expressions and replacement and replacement strings—these replacements are called mappings—separated by colons. TotalView applies these mappings to the search paths before it looks for source, object, and program files.

This example shows two pairs, each delimited by a colon (“:”). Each element within a pair is delimited by any character except a colon. The first character entered is the delimiter. This example uses a “+” as a delimiter. (Traditionally, forward slashes are used as delimiters but are not used here, as a forward slash is also used to separate components of a pathname. For example, /home/my_dir contains forward slashes.)

Be aware that special characters must follow standard Tcl rules and conventions, for example:

Contains a list of paths, separated by a colon, to search for executables. For information, see “Setting Search Paths Using TotalView for HPC Variables” in the TotalView for HPC in-product help.

Contains a list of the TotalView IDs for all members in group gid.

The first element indicates the type of group:

Elements that follow are either pids (for process groups) or pid.tid pairs (for thread groups).

The gid is a simple number for most groups. In contrast, a lockstep group’s ID number is of the form pid.tid. Thus, GROUP(2.3) contains the lockstep group for thread 3 in process 2. Note, however, that the CLI does not display lockstep groups when you use dset with no arguments because they are hidden variables.

The GROUP(id) variable is read-only.

Contains a list of all TotalView groups IDs. Lockstep groups are not contained in this list. This is a read-only value and cannot be set.

Defines the number of lines shown before the CLI stops printing information and displays its more prompt. The following values have special meaning:

Defines the maximum number of levels that the dwhere command displays.

Defines the number of lines that the dlist command displays.

Contains pairs of regular expressions and replacement and replacement strings (called mappings) separated by colons. TotalView applies these mappings to the search paths when searching for source, object, and program files. For more information, see EXECUTABLE_SEARCH_MAPPINGS.

Contains a list of paths separated by a colon to search for your program’s object files. For information, see “Search Path Variables That You Can Set”.

Contains a list of information associated with a dpid. This is a read-only value and cannot be set.

Defines the CLI prompt. Any information within brackets ([ ]) is assumed to be a Tcl command, so therefore evaluated before the prompt string is created.

Contains the current focus. This is a read-only value and cannot be set.

Contains the group ID of the share group for process pid. The share group is determined by the control group for the process and the executable associated with this process. You cannot directly modify this group.

Indicates the scope for newly created action points. In the CLI, this is the dbarrier, dbreak, and dwatch commands. If this boolean value is true, newly created action point are shared across the group; if false, a newly created action point is active only in the process in which it is set.

As an alternative to setting this variable, you can select the Plant in share group check box in the Action Points Page in the File > Preferences dialog box. To override this value in the GUI, use the Plant in share group checkbox in the Action Point > Properties dialog box.

Contains pairs of regular expressions and replacement strings (mappings), separated by colons. TotalView applies these mappings to the search paths before it looks for shared library files.

Contains a list of paths, each separated by a colon, to search for your program’s shared library files.

Contains pairs of regular expressions and replacement strings (mappings) separated by colons. TotalView applies these mappings to the search paths before it looks for source, object, and program files. For more information, see EXECUTABLE_SEARCH_MAPPINGS.

Contains a list of paths, separated by a colon, to search for your program’s source files. For information, see “Search Path Variables That You Can Set”.

Controls whether TotalView filters the stack. Because not all applications can benefit from stack filtering, this variable is false by default.

Indicates a default property for newly created action points, defining additional elements to stop when this action point is encountered

Indicates the number of spaces used to simulate a tab character when the CLI displays information.

Contains a list of all threads in the process pid, in the form {pid.1 pid.2 ...}. This is a read-only variable and cannot be set.

Names the directory containing the TotalView executable. This is a read-only variable and cannot be set. This variable is exported as TVROOT, and can be used in launch strings.

Contains a list of the directories in which the CLI searches for TCL library components.

Contains the version number and the type of computer architecture upon which TotalView is executing. This is a read-only variable and cannot be set.

Sets the error message information displayed by the CLI:

The group ID of the thread group of worker threads associated with the process pid. This variable is read-only.

Contains one of the following:
