The EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT contains the executable file’s directory name. This directory name can either be absolute or relative.
TotalView lets you enter an executable file name in several places. For example, you can enter it on the command line, as an argument to the
dload or
dattach CLI commands, and in the
File > New Program dialog box.
If the executable file name contains a slash (“/”) path separator, TotalView does not search for the executable file. Instead, it uses this name, setting
EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT to the directory portion of the provided name.
If an executable file name does not contain a path separator, TotalView sets EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT to the first directory named in the
EXECUTABLE_SEARCH_PATH where it finds the executable file.
