NAME

       gprofng archive - Archive gprofng experiment data

SYNOPSIS

       gprofng archive [option(s)] experiment

DESCRIPTION

       Archive the associated application binaries and source files in a gprofng experiment to
       make it self contained and portable.

       By default, the binaries are archived, but the application source files are not archived.
       Use this tool to change this and afterwards archive additional components.

OPTIONS

       --version
           Print the version number and exit.

       --help
           Print usage information and exit.

       -a {off|on|ldobjects|src|usedldobjects|usedsrc}
           Specify archiving of binaries and other files.  In addition to disable this feature
           (off), or enable archiving off all loadobjects and sources (on), the  other  op tions
           support a more refined selection.

           All of these options enable archiving, but the keyword controls what exactly is
           selected: all load objects (ldobjects), all source files (src), the loadobjects
           asscoiated with a program counter (usedldobjects), or the source files associated with
           a program counter (usedsrc).  The default is -a ldobjects.

       -n  Archive the named experiment only, not any of its descendants.

       -m regex
           Archive only those source, object, and debug info files whose full path name matches
           the given POSIX compliant regex regular expression.

       -q  Do not write any warnings to stderr.  Warnings are incorporated into the .archive file
           in the experiment directory.  They are shown in the output of gprofng display text.

       -F  Force writing or rewriting of the archive.  This is ignored with the -n or -m option,
           or if this is a subexperiment.

       -d path
           The path is the absolute path path to a common archive, which is a directory that
           contains archived files.  If the directory does not exist, then it will be created.
           Files are saved in the common archive directory, and a symbolic link is created in the
           experiment archive.

NOTES

       Default archiving does not occur in case the application profiled terminates prematurely,
       or if archiving is disabled when collecting the performance data.  In such cases, this
       tool can be used to afterwards archive the information, but it has to be run on the same
       system where the profiling data was recorded.

       Some Java applications store shared objects in jar files.  By default, such shared objects
       are not automatically archived.  To archive shared objects contained in jar files, the
       addpath directive in an .er.rc file. The addpath directive should give the path to the jar
       file, including the jar file itself.  The .er.rc file should be saved in the user home
       directory or parent of the experiment directory.
