6.16 Report Options File

All the options that you want to use to generate the report can be consolidated in a single

configuration file using the +opts <file> option. This reduces the clutter on the command

line and provides a single place to specify the customized options. Comment lines can also be

inserted in the +opts configuration file. This option is used for reading reporting options from

the specified <file>. The following example shows the reading of report options from a specific

file.

Example 6-19 Report options file

$ cat my_opts

-diag 3348

$ cadvise report -pdb test.pdb +opts my_opts

int ifd; /* input file descriptor */
