SYSSPLIT
--------
Syntax:
SYSSPLIT <input_file>
Trace definition files - SYSTEM.TDF:
When applying tracepionts to a DLL, TRACE.EXE will search the current
path, then the DPATH for the dll_name.TDF file. If not found it
searches OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE\SYSTEM.TDF and finally,
OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE\dll_name.TDF.
If the system trace definitions for a particular module needs to be
replaced or modified then SYSSPLIT may be used to split SYSTEM.TDF
into its constituent TDF files. The resultant *.TDF files may be saved
in OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE. Because of the search order employed by TRACE.EXE
it is recommended that SYSTEM.TDF be renamed after being split.
The file names of the split *.TDFs will be chosen to be the original
names used to create SYSTEM.TDF.
N.B. The trace definitions for the OS2KRNL may be in OS2KRNL.TDF or
DOSCALLS.TDF. The TRACE command recognises the keyword KERNEL as an
alias for each of the kernel TDF names. TRACE.EXE searches the DPATH
for DOSCALLS.TDF, but due to a bug only \OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE of the
current drive (as opposed to the boot drive) for OS2KRNL.TDF. The
result of this latter point is that TRACE ON KERNEL will only work
for OS2KRNL.TDF if a directory from the boot drive is curent.
The TDFLST utility may be used with each of the resultant TDFs to
format the trace point definitions.
Trace formatting files - SYSTEM.TFF:
When formatting the system trace, TRACEFMT.EXE will search
OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE\SYSTEM.TFF for the formatting templates for each
major code encountered in the trace buffer. If a major code is not
found in SYSTEM.TFF then TRACEFMT will search for a file named
TRC00xx.TFF, where xx is the major code number in hexadecimal.
If the formatting templates for a particular module needs to be
replaced or modified then SYSSPLIT may be used to split SYSTEM.TFF
into its constituent TFF files. The resultant *.TFF files may be saved
in OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE. Because of the search order employed by
TRACEFMT.EXE it is recommended that SYSTEM.TFF be renamed after being
split.
The file names of the split *.TFFs will be chosen to be the original
names used to create SYSTEM.TDF, that is names formed from their major
codes.
The TFFLST utility mat be used with each of the resultant TFFs to
format the trace point definitions.
N.B. TRCUST has the ability to combine TFFs for the same major code.
This is not to be confused with the special SYSTEM.TFF and SYSTEM.TDF
files that are concatenations of dissimilar major code definitions.
