Output options

Option

Default

-logfile

not set

Specifies the name of the log file to which you want to direct Quantify output such as banners and the "saving data" status message.

 

-append-logfile

no

Specifies that Quantify output be appended to the current log file rather than replacing it.

 

-output-limit

1000000

Use with the –logfile option to restrict the size of the log file and conserve disk space. Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the log file. All output is truncated beyond this size.

 

-copy-fd-output-to-logfile

not set

Specifies that output from file descriptors be appended to the log file. Specify a comma-delimited list of file descriptors. Output written to these file descriptors is copied into the log file and helps you reconstruct the actions of the user.

For example, to copy output written to stdout and stderr into the log file, interspersed with Quantify output, use:

% quantify -copy-fd-output-to-logfile=1,2 cc foo.c
