Arguments:

TotalView options.

filename

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.

corefile

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

args

Default target program arguments.

Description: 

TotalView is a source-level debugger with a motif-based graphic user interface and features for debugging distributed programs, multiprocess programs, and multithreaded programs. TotalView is available on a number of different platforms.

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