pddump(1)


NAME

  pddump - Dump profiling data files


SYNOPSIS

  pddump  file...


OPERANDS

  file
      A data file generated by a profiled program. A valid file is identified
      as a "profiling data file" by the file(1) command.


DESCRIPTION

  The pddump command displays, on the standard output, the record definitions
  and data of the specified profiling data files.

  Each file's dump is prefixed by the line "File = file:". This is followed
  by the file's field-alignment option and a list containing the file's
  name/value attribute pairs and the file's record definitions. Then each
  record in the file is dumped, showing the name of the record and the name
  and value of each of its fields.

  Strings are printed within double quotes, unsigned integers are printed in
  hexadecimal, and signed integers and floating-point numbers are printed in
  decimal. Non-array data lines contain equal signs to assist in filtering.

  The content of the profiling data files produced by Tru64 UNIX may be
  expanded in future releases, but Tru64 UNIX tools will continue to support
  older formats. To write tools that process Tru64 UNIX profiling data files,
  use the pdtostd(1) command to convert the Tru64 UNIX formats to industry
  standard formats, where a standard format exists. Alternatively, use the
  libpdf.a utilities to read the profiling data files directly, skipping any
  new attributes, records, or fields that may appear.
