HP Caliper 5.3 User Guide (5900-1558, February 2011)

--analysis-focus [executable:]name|all[,[executable:]name],...
o outputfile[,append|create]
--rule-files rulefile1[,rulefile2,...]
For these options:
--advice-classes Specifies which classes of advice are printed. It can be all or any
combination of general, cpu, memory, io, or system, separated
by colons (:).
The default is all.
--advice-cutoff Specifies how much of the advice to print. All advice is sorted by its
index value (the greater the index, the greater the importance).
min-index specifies the lowest index value of advice to print.
min-count gives the minimum number of advice items to print while
max-count gives the maximum number. min-count takes precedence
over min-index, so if only a few pieces of advice apply, some with
an index less than min-index might be printed.
The defaults are 5.0 for min-index, 5 for min-count, and 15 for
max-count.
--advice-details Specifies what portions of advice messages are printed. It can be all
or any combination of description, improvement, measurement,
explanation, or rule, separated by colons (:). Advice messages
don’t necessarily contain all of these portions.
The default is all.
--analysis-focus Specifies which application object(s) to analyze and report on. Currently,
only executable programs can be analyzed, so specifying the default
focus type of executable is optional. The object name can be all
or a specific, simple executable name such as my_app. One or more
executables can be specified with this option, separated by commas
(,).
The default is executable:all.
-o Specifies the name of the report file produced by the Advisor. The report
file is in text format. The Advisor will either create a new file (create)
or append to an existing file (append).
The default file is stdout and the default action is create.
Can also be specified as --output-file outputfile.
--rule-files Specifies the name or names of existing rule files to use for the analysis.
One or more rule files can be given, separated by commas (,). A rule
file can be a customized rule file in your own personal rules directory
or a standard HP Caliper rule file in the HP Caliper directory. A rule file
can be either a simple filename or a relative or absolute path name.
For a simple filename, directories are searched in this order: (1) the
current directory, (2) the personal rules directory ~/caliper_advisor,
and (3) the rules subdirectory in the HP Caliper home directory.
For a relative or absolute path name, no searching is done.
database_list is a set of one or more HP Caliper databases to analyze. If the databases are
specified by name (with or without a path), they are looked for at those locations. If they are
specified only by name, they are looked for in these locations, in this order: (1) current directory,
then (2) databases directory. If no databases are specified by name, all the databases in the
databases directory are analyzed.
