vk_logmerge

VK_LOGMERGE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    VK_LOGMERGE(1)

NAME

       vk_logmerge - a Valgrind XML log file merger

SYNOPSIS

       vk_logmerge [flags and input files in any order]

DESCRIPTION

       vk_logmerge is a valkyrie(1) helper. Given multiple log files (in xml format) generated by multiple runs on a parallel machine, or multiple
       log files generated by sequential runs on a single-processor machine, for the same binary, vk_logmerge merges the log files together,  sum-
       ming  the  counts of duplicates, and outputs the result to a single file. As input, vk_logmerge expects the log-files to-be-merged and/or a
       file containing the list of log-files to-be-merged, with each entry on a separate line.

       Log files can be merged from within valkyrie(1) , or use can invoke vk_logmerge directly.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show help message

       -v     Be verbose (more -v's give more)

       -t     Output plain text (non-xml)

       -f <log_list>
	      Obtain input files from <log_list> file (one per line)

       -o <writefile>
	      File to write output to

       At least 1 input file must be given.

       If no '-o outfile' is given, writes to standard output.

EXAMPLES

       vk_logmerge log1.xml -f loglist.fls -o merged.xml

SEE ALSO

       valkyrie(1), valgrind(1).
