qv options

For instructions on how to use qv, read Running qv to view saved data.

Option

Default

-add-annotation

not set

Specifies a string to add to the binary file. The annotation string in a file can be printed at a later time with the –print-annotations option.

 

-print-annotations

no

Specifies whether to write annotations to stdout.

 

-windows

yes

Specifies whether qv runs with the graphical display. When it is set to yes, qv displays the Control Panel.

When set to no, qv saves the collected data to a file. For more information, read Automating data analysis.

 

-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. For more information, read Exporting performance data.
