TotalView User Guide : Part III: Using the GUI : Using TotalView Windows : Using the Root Window

Using the Root Window
The Root Window appears when you start TotalView.
*
If you type a program name immediately after the totalview command, TotalView also opens a Process Window with the program’s source code.
*
If you do not enter a program name when starting TotalView, TotalView displays its File > New Program dialog box. Use this dialog box to enter a program’s name and information needed to execute that program.
The Root Window displays a list of all the processes and threads being debugged. Before your program begins executing, the Root Window contains only the name of the program being debugged. As your program creates processes and threads, they are added to this list. Associated with each is a name, location (if a remote process), process ID, status, and a list of executing threads for each process. It also shows the thread ID, status, and the routine being executed in each thread.
Figure 110 shows the Root Window for an executing multi-threaded multi-process program.
