Run profmrg
To exclude a file from processing, rename it or remove it from the directory or
subvolume profmrg will use.
Run profmrg
To run profmrg, use a command line of the form:
where options can be any set of options from the following list. Options must be in
lowercase.
-a dpi_file_list
specifies the DPI files to use as input. The list can consist of any number of file
names, separated by spaces. There is no rule for the format of a filename; for
example, it need not contain the string .dpi. If the -prof_dir option is also
present in the command, then each name specified for the -a option is
concatenated with the name given in the -prof_dir option.
The -a option must be the last option on the command line. Any options specified
after it are ignored.
-dump
produces a text dump of the contents of the input files. The profmrg utility writes
the dump to the standard output file (stdout). You can redirect it to any convenient
location.
The -dump option produces text output even if profmrg does not re-create the DPI
file. (For a discussion of cases in which profmrg does not re-create the DPI file,
see The Output DPI File.) Therefore, this option is useful for gathering information
about an existing DPI file.
-help
displays brief descriptions of syntax options.
Do not specify any other options on the command line. When you specify the
-help option, any other options on the command line are either ignored or
produce command syntax error messages.
-nologo
suppresses the banner that profmrg would otherwise display.
profmrg options
Note. A filename specified in a profmrg command option must not begin with a slash(/).
