NAME

   oparchive - produce archive of oprofile data for offline analysis

SYNOPSIS

   oparchive [ options ] [profile specification] -o [directory]

DESCRIPTION

   The oparchive utility is commonly used for collecting profile data on a
   "target" system for future offline analysis  on  a  different  ("host")
   machine.   oparchive  creates  a  directory populated with executables,
   libraries, debuginfo files, and oprofile sample files.  This  directory
   can  be  tar'ed  up and moved to another machine to be analyzed without
   further use of the target  machine.  Using  opreport  and  other  post-
   profiling   tools  against  archived  data  requires  the  use  of  the
   archive:<archived-dir> specification. See oprofile(1) for how to  write
   profile specifications.  A complete description of offline analysis can
   be found in the chapter titled Analyzing profile data on another system
   (oparchive)  of  the  OProfile user manual. (See the user manual URL in
   the "SEE ALSO" section below.)

OPTIONS

   --help / -? / --usage
          Show help message.

   --version / -v
          Show version.

   --verbose / -V [options]
          Give verbose debugging output.

   --session-dir=dir_path
          Use  sample  database  from  the  specified  directory  dir_path
          instead  of  the  default  location.  If  --session-dir  is  not
          specified,  then  oparchive   will   search   for   samples   in
          <current_dir>/oprofile_data  first.  If  that directory does not
          exist, the standard session-dir of /var/lib/oprofile is used.

   --image-path / -p [paths]
          Comma-separated list of additional paths to search for binaries.
          This is needed to find modules in kernels 2.6 and upwards.

   --root / -R [path]
          A path to a filesystem to search for additional binaries.

   --output-directory / -o [directory]
          Output to the given directory. There is no default. This must be
          specified.

   --exclude-dependent / -x
          Do not include application-specific images for libraries, kernel
          modules  and  the  kernel.  This  option only makes sense if the
          profile session used --separate.

   --list-files / -l
          Only list the files that would be archived, don't copy them.

ENVIRONMENT

   No special environment variables are recognized by oparchive.

FILES

   <session_dir>/samples
          The location of the generated sample files.
