TDF Splitter - attsplit

Purpose

For use with Runtime Tracing. The .tdf splitter (attsplit) tool allows you to separate large .tdf dynamic trace files into smaller—more manageable—files.

Syntax

attsplit [<options>] <tcf file> <tsf_file> <tdf file>

where:

• <tcf_file> is always $TESTRTDIR/lib/tracer.tcf

  <tsf_file> is the name of the generated .tsf static trace file

  <tdf file> is the name of the original .tdf dynamic trace file

Description

Trace .tdf files that contain loops cannot be split.

Options

-p <prefix>

Specifies the filename prefix for the split .tdf files. By default, split .tdf filenames start with att.

-s <bytes>

Sets the maximum file size for the split .tdf files. By default, the original .tdf dynamic trace file is split into 1000 byte split .tdf files

Specifies

-v | -vw

Activates verbose mode (-v) or verbose mode for written files only (-vw).

-nt

Disables the writing of time information. By default, time information is written to the split .tdf files.

-fopt <filename>

Uses a text file to pass options to the attsplit command line.

-studio_log

This option is for internal usage only.
