ANALYZE
ANALYZE
The ANALYZE command formats and displays the contents of a trace file. The
command is also used to specify the format in which trace data is displayed,
either during live tracing or when the contents of a trace file are displayed.
Format
ANALYZE [file-spec] [/qualifiers]
Parameters
file-spec
Specifies the name of the trace file to be displayed. The default is the file
CTF$TRACE.DAT in your default directory. You cannot specify this parameter if
you are performing live tracing.
Note
If you do not specify a file version number, the ANALYZE command starts
at the lowest version of the trace file and processes each version of the file
in turn.
Qualifiers
/BEFORE=time
Specifies that only trace records collected before the specified time are to be
displayed. Specify the time in standard VMS format.
/BRIEF
Specifies that a single-line analysis of the protocol data in each trace record is
displayed. /BRIEF is the default display. This qualifier is effective only if the
relevant protocol analysis routines support abbreviated analysis of protocol data.
