SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       oparchive  generates a directory populated with executable, debug, and oprofile sample files. This directory can be move to another machine
       via tar and analyzed without further use of the data collection machine. See oprofile(1) for how to write profile specifications.

       --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 locations. 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 recognised by oparchive.
