HP Caliper User's Guide

Example

If you specify:

$ caliper fprof --process-cutoff ,80,0 -w

The contents of the Process Summary section is a list of processes containing:

• The processes that account for 80 percent of the total IP samples of all the processes

running in the system.

• Only those processes that each account for more than two percent of total samples.

Because percent_cutoff was not specified, HP Caliper used the default value,

2 percent.

--read-init-file

--read-init-file True|False

Determines whether HP Caliper reads the .caliperinit initialization file at startup.

Set to False to ignore the .caliperinit file. Default value is True.

For more information, see “Specifying Option Values with a .caliperinit Initialization

File” (p. 121).

--report

Used only with the caliper info command. See “How to Display Reference

Information About CPU Counters or HP Caliper Report Types” (p. 133).

--report-details

See “-r or --report-details” (p. 68).

--rule-files

Used only with the caliper advise command. See “Command Line to Invoke the

Advisor” (p. 104).

--sampling-spec

See “-s or --sampling-spec” (p. 69).

--scope

process|system|pset=pset_id[:pset_id:...][,attr-mod|attr-proc|attr-none]

Specifies the scope of what HP Caliper measures. HP Caliper can measure activity on

individual processes (process scope, or per-process measurement) or on all CPUs in

the system (system scope, or system-wide measurement), or on HP-UX systems, on

the specified processor sets (psets).
