Command Line Interface
Intel Trace Analyzer provides a command line interface (CLI) in all environments.
Use the CLI to:
- Pre-calculate trace caches for new trace files from batch files without invoking the graphical user interface. Use it for very big trace files.
- Automate profiling data production for several trace files without further interaction.
For every opened trace file, Intel Trace Analyzer creates a trace cache. It is stored in the same directory as the trace file and has the same file name adding the
.cache
suffix. If Intel Trace Analyzer cannot create a cache file in the default directory, it can create it in the system temporary directory.See Also
