ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee - Performance Co-Pilot time control server
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
////uuuussssrrrr////ppppccccpppp////bbbbiiiinnnn////ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee [----aaaa] [----hhhh] ----pppp _p_o_r_t_n_a_m_e
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee provides a graphical user interface for PCP applications requiring
time control. ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee is not normally invoked directly by users. Rather,
it is run by calling the Performance Metrics Application Programming
Interface (PMAPI) function ppppmmmmTTTTiiiimmmmeeeeCCCCoooonnnnnnnneeeecccctttt(3).
The ----pppp argument is required. When ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee starts, it creates _p_o_r_t_n_a_m_e in
the file system. This is a Unix domain socket serving as the control
port that ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee will accept new connections on.
When starting, ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee creates and initializes a ViewKit dialog containing
controls that are suitable for live/real-time time control (if the ----hhhh
flag is given) or for archive replay (if the ----aaaa flag is given). If
neither ----hhhh or ----aaaa are given, the default is ----hhhh. The dialog will be
initially managed (visible) only if the client requested it, as described
in ppppmmmmTTTTiiiimmmmeeeeCCCCoooonnnnnnnneeeecccctttt(3).
ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee will then enter its main loop, accepting new connections and
sending time control IPC messages to its client(s). These messages are
described in detail in ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee(3).
When the number of connected clients reaches zero, ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee will remove the
control socket and exit. Clients disconnect either by calling
ppppmmmmTTTTiiiimmmmeeeeDDDDiiiissssccccoooonnnnnnnneeeecccctttt(3) or simply exiting (implicitly closing the socket
connection).
The arguments to ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee are as follows:
----aaaa Use archive mode. This instructs ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee to create a dialog with
time controls suitable for manipulating the archive position,
allowing full VCR control. This argument is mutually exclusive with
----hhhh.
----hhhh Use live (host) mode. This instructs ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee to create a dialog with
time controls suitable for live/real-time monitoring. This argument
is mutually exclusive with ----aaaa.
----pppp Specifies the path to the control port, as described above. If
_p_o_r_t_n_a_m_e already exists, ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee will display an error message and
exit. When ppppmmmmttttiiiimmmmeeee exits, it removes _p_o_r_t_n_a_m_e.
