Mailing Purify output to team members

You can use the -mail-to-user option to have Purify automatically send the output from a run of a Purify'd program directly to other members of your team, instead of displaying it in the Viewer. Purify sends the output in a log-file format.

Use the -mail-to-user option when:

Using the -mail-to-user-option

You can use the -mail-to-user option to have Purify send Purify messages to one or more developers. For example:

% purify -mail-to-user=chris cc ...
% purify -mail-to-user=chris,pat cc ...
 % purify -mail-to-user=devgrp cc ...

By default, Purify does not open the Viewer when you specify the -mail-to-user option. To also display messages in the Viewer, use the -windows=yes option along with the -mail-to-user option.

Protecting your run-time option settings

To make sure that the options you specify when you build the program remain in effect when the program is run in other locations or by other developers, use the -ignore-runtime-environment option with the -mail-to-user option.

This prevents other run-time environments from affecting your program, so developers see exactly what you want them to see. No matter what directory your program is run in or who runs it, the run-time options (including suppressions) built into the program cannot be changed.
