Record-Selection Commands

The SELECT, DESELECT, SELMASK, FILTER, and LIMIT commands set criteria that

PTrace refers to when selecting records for display.

Using the SELECT Command to Select Records Through

Keywords or Numeric Values

The SELECT command enables PTrace to select records according to the type of

information they contain. You can select records by specifying:

•

Keywords

•

Numbers to represent enumerated values corresponding to keywords

The DESELECT command deletes the trace options specified in a previously entered

SELECT command.

Using the SELMASK Command to Select Records Through

Bit Masks

The SELMASK command provides a 32-bit selection mask. The bit settings in this

mask enable PTrace to select records according to the type of information they

contain.

Each subsystem recognizes a different set of keywords, enumerated values, or

selection masks.

Using the FILTER Command to Set Filtering Criteria

The operation of the FILTER command is determined by each subsystem. When you

use the FILTER command, PTrace provides selection options in addition to those

provided by the SELECT or SELMASK command. Filters affect only those trace
