Options for saving data

Option

Default

-filename-prefix

%v.%p.%n

Specifies the prefix name for report filenames.

By default, Quantify forms filenames by expanding any conversion characters in the value of the -filename-prefix option and appending an extension. Quantify saves data to these files:

Filename

Data saved

%v.%p.%n.qv

The binary dataset file

%v.%p.%n.qx

The export data file

%v.%p.%n.qs

The program summary file

%v.%p.%n.ql

The current Function List

%v.%p.%n.qfd

The current Function Detail data

%v.%p.%n.ps

The Call Graph, in PostScript form

<source>.%p

The annotated source file

$HOME/.qvrc

The X resource file for customizing Quantify

The value of %n is incremented each time the dataset is saved.

 

-write-export-file

none

Specifies the name of the file used to write the export data file for a dataset. By default, the value none specifies that no export file is written. If you specify no value using –write-export-file, Quantify creates the export filename based on the value of the –file-prefix option. Quantify appends the .qx extension to the option value. For more information, read Exporting performance data.

 

-write-summary-file

/dev/tty

Specifies the name of the file used to write the program summary for a dataset. By default, Quantify writes the program summary to the current output. If you specify the value none, Quantify does not write a program summary. If you specify -write-summary-file without a value, Quantify creates the summary filename based on the value of the –file-prefix option. Quantify appends the .qs extension to the option value.
