profmrg Use of Standard Error and Output Files

The profmrg utility writes all its output to the standard error file (stderr), except that

output from the -dump option is written to standard output (stdout).

If profmrg does not recognize an option on the command line, it displays a message to

that effect and a brief syntax message. Similarly, if an option that requires a parameter

is the last token on the command line, profmrg displays an error message and a brief

syntax message.

Following any such messages is a banner consisting of one line that displays the name

and VPROC of the tool, and a second line stating the copyright. For example:

If a raw data file has the wrong format--for instance, if some other type of file has a

name that resembles a DPI file name--profmrg writes a warning message to the

standard error file and ignores the invalid input file. A warning message also results if a

DPI file specified with the -a option is invalid.
