SELECT and SELMASK Commands
The SELECT and SELMASK commands in PTrace allow you to specify particular types
of records in the trace file for display, thus reducing the number of records you see and
limiting them to those that are likely to be of interest to you. In the SELECT command,
you specify one or more keywords to indicate the types of records you want to see. In
the SELMASK command, you specify a 32-bit mask value whose bit settings indicate
the types of records you want to see.
Note that only those records that are present in the trace file can be displayed; if one or
more of the SELECT, LUSELECT, and PUSELECT options of the SCF TRACE
command were used to limit the kinds of information collected in the trace file, some or
all of the records you select using PTrace SELECT or SELMASK commands may not
be present and therefore will not be displayed.
The SELECT command actually translates the keywords into a selection mask value
like that specified in the SELMASK command. The selection mask for the trace file
being examined reflects the selections from the last SELECT or SELMASK command
given, minus any items deselected with the DESELECT command (described in the
PTrace Reference Manual). You can use the CURRENT keyword in the SELECT
command to retain existing selections while adding new ones.
SELECT Command Syntax
For SNAX, the SELECT command includes an extra feature in addition to those
described in the PTrace Reference Manual: it allows you to select records by trace-
record type number. The syntax of the SELECT command for SNAX is as follows:
ALL
specifies all trace-selection options.
CURRENT
specifies the currently defined trace-selection options.
SELECT { ALL }
{ CURRENT }
{ number }
{ ( number [ , number ]... ) }
{ keyword }
{ ( keyword [ , keyword ]... ) }
