NAME¶

oparchive - produce archive of oprofile data for offline analysis

SYNOPSIS¶

oparchive [ options ] [profile specification] -o [directory]

DESCRIPTION¶

oparchive generates a directory populated with executable, debug, and oprofile sample files. This directory can be move to another machine via tar and analyzed without further use of the data collection machine. See oprofile(1) for how to write profile specifications.

OPTIONS¶

Show help message.

--version / -v

Show version.

--verbose / -V [options]

Give verbose debugging output.

--session-dir=dir_path

Use sample database from the specified directory dir_path instead of the default locations. If --session-dir is not specified, then oparchive will search for samples in <current_dir>/oprofile_data first. If that directory does not exist, the standard session-dir of /var/lib/oprofile is used.

--image-path / -p [paths]

Comma-separated list of additional paths to search for binaries. This is needed to find modules in kernels 2.6 and upwards.

--root / -R [path]

A path to a filesystem to search for additional binaries.

--output-directory / -o [directory]

Output to the given directory. There is no default. This must be specified.

--exclude-dependent / -x

Do not include application-specific images for libraries, kernel modules and the kernel. This option only makes sense if the profile session used --separate.

--list-files / -l

Only list the files that would be archived, don't copy them.
