conversion characters

When you specify filenames for options such as -log-file, -watchpoints-file, and -view-file, you can include conversion characters that expand to the program name or to the process id (pid)

Character

Converts to:

%V

Full pathname of the program ("/" replaced by "_")

%v

Program name

%p

Process id (pid)

If the filename is unqualified (does not contain "/"), Purify writes it to the directory where the program resides. Qualified filenames can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. For example, if you specify the option

-log-file=./%v.plog

Purify writes the log file to the current working directory. If the program is called test, the log file is called ./test.plog.
