nnnneeeewwwwhhhheeeellllpppp generates nnnnddddbbbbmmmm(3B) database files for one or more source files of
Performance Co-Pilot help text.
Normally nnnneeeewwwwhhhheeeellllpppp operates on the default Performance Metrics Namespace
(PMNS), however if the ----nnnn option is specified an alternative namespace is
loaded from the file _n_a_m_e_s_p_a_c_e.
When there is only one input file, the base name of the new database is
derived from the name of the input _f_i_l_e, otherwise the ----oooo flag must be
given to explicitly name the database. If no input files are supplied,
nnnneeeewwwwhhhheeeellllpppp reads from the standard input stream, in which case the ----oooo flag
must be given.
If the output file name is determined to be ffffoooooooo, nnnneeeewwwwhhhheeeellllpppp will create
ffffoooooooo....ddddiiiirrrr and ffffoooooooo....ppppaaaagggg.
The ----VVVV flag causes verbose messages to be printed whilst nnnneeeewwwwhhhheeeellllpppp is
parsing it's input.
The first line of each entry in a help source file consists of an ``@''
character beginning the line followed by a space and then the performance
metric name and a one line description of the metric. Following lines
(up to the next line beginning with ``@'' or end of file) may contain a
verbose help description. E.g.
#
# This is an example of newhelp's input syntax
#
@ irix.kernel.all.cpu.idle CPU idle time
A cumulative count of the number of milliseconds
of CPU idle time, summed over all processors.
Lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored, as are blank lines in the file
before the first ``@''. The verbose help text is optional.
As a special case, a ``metric'' name of the form _N_N_N._M_M (for numeric _N_N_N
and _M_M) is interpreted as an instance domain identification, and the text
describes the instance domain.
