ANALYZE
Description
The ANALYZE command allows you to:
• Display the contents of a trace file, and specify the format of the display.
• Change the format of the display during live tracing.
If you issue the ANALYZE command while displaying a trace file, and you do not
specify a filename, the qualifiers you use will be applied to the trace file being
displayed.
You may not ANALYZE a trace file during live tracing, but you may use the
ANALYZE command to alter the format of the display for live tracing. Simply
press any key to interrupt the display, enter the ANALYZE command, and the
resumed display will reflect the new format.
If you include the ANALYZE command in a TRACE command line, you will be
left in the TRACE utility on completion of the command.
Examples
CTF> ANALYZE/OUTPUT=TRACE_ASC.LIS
This command formats the contents of the default trace file, CTF$TRACE.DAT,
and places the formatted data in a file called TRACE_ASC.LIS.
CTF> ANALYZE/FILTER=(RX,TX)
This command displays the contents of the default trace file, CTF$TRACE.DAT,
on your terminal. Only trace records with event code RX (receive) or TX
(transmit) will be displayed.
