Exporting performance data

You can save Quantify data in an export format that is suitable for processing by shell scripts and other programs.

There are several ways to create an export data file:

• You can use the -write-export-file option at run time.

• You can select File > Export data as . . . in any Quantify data analysis window.

• If you have saved the binary data in a file, you can use the -write-export-file option on the qv command line to write the export file. For example, the command

  % qv -write-export-file a.out.83475.0.qv

  writes an export data file named a.out.83475.0.qx in the current directory.

Quantify creates export filenames by expanding any conversion characters in the -filename-prefix option, then adding the .qx extension.

Note:

• The export file does not provide data for basic blocks or lines. All C++ function names are demangled.

• For information about the file's format, read The export data file format.
