Suppression option

Option

Default

-add-suppression-files

Note: This option supersedes the option -suppression-filenames, which is found in earlier versions of Purify.

Specifies files containing suppression directives in addition to the directives in the system-dependent default suppression files.

The default suppression files are:

Solaris (32 bit): .purify,.purify.solaris2,.purify.solaris2_32

Solaris (64 bit): .purify,.purify.solaris2,purify.solaris2_64

HP-UX (32 bit): .purify,.purify.hpux,.purify.hpux_32

HP-UX (64 bit): .purify,.purify.hpux,.purify.hpux_64

IRIX (32 bit): .purify,.purify.irix,.purify.irix_32

IRIX (64 bit): .purify,.purify.irix,.purify.irix_64

If you specify an unqualified filename (containing no '/' characters), Purify looks for that file in the <purifyhome>, $HOME, and program directories.

For example, if you specify:

% purify -add-suppression-files="$HOME/purify_suppressions"

on a 32-bit system, Purify reads suppressions from:

<purifyhome>/.purify
<purifyhome>/.purify.solaris2_32
$HOME/.purify
$HOME/.purify.solaris2_32
<progdir>/.purify
<progdir>/.purify.solaris2_32
$HOME/purify_suppressions

Purify interprets qualified filenames as absolute or as relative to the current working directory, depending on whether a '/' precedes them.
