You can eliminate these problems if you use the stty sane CLI command. (If
the sane option isn’t available, you have to change values individually.)
If you start the CLI with the totalviewcli command, you can use all of the
command-line options that you can use when starting TotalView, except
those that have to do with the GUI. (In some cases, TotalView displays an
error message if you try. In others, it just ignores what you did.
Startup Example
The following is a very small CLI script:
#
source make_actions.tcl
#
dload fork_loop
dset ARGS_DEFAULT {0 4 –wp}
dstep
catch {make_actions fork_loop.cxx} msg
puts $msg
This script begins by loading and interpreting the make_actions.tcl file,
which was described in Chapter 11, “Seeing the CLI at Work,” on page 213. It
then loads the fork_loop executable, sets its default startup arguments,
and steps one source-level statement.
If you stored this in a file named fork_loop.tvd, you can tell TotalView to
start the CLI and execute this file by entering the following command:
totalviewcli –s fork_loop.tvd
Information on command-line options is in the “TotalView Command Syntax”
chapter of the TotalView Reference Guide.
The following example places a similar set of commands in a file that you
invoke from the shell:
#!/bin/sh
# Next line exec. by shell, but ignored by Tcl because: \
exec totalviewcli –s "$0" "$@"
