SDLCOMP(1)SDLCOMP(1)NAMEsdlcomp - a program that checks and compiles the class specification
file
SYNOPSISsdlcomp [-maxclass <value>] specification_file [logfile_set [logfile]]
[options]
DESCRIPTIONsdlcomp checks the class specification file for errors. If no errors
are found, it adds the class and metric descriptions to the description
file in the logfile set you name. It also sets up the pointers in the
logfile set's root file to the logfile to be used for data storage. If
either the logfile set or the logfile does not exist, the compiler cre‐
ates one.
Options
specification_file
The name of the file containing the class specification.
If it is not in the current directory, it must be fully
qualified.
logfile_set The name of the logfile set this class should be added
to. If the logfile set does not exist, it will be cre‐
ated. If the logfile set name is not fully qualified,
it is assumed to be in the current directory. You can
keep logfile sets anywhere you choose as long as you
specify the location correctly when configuring the
agent. If no logfile set is named, compilation errors
are written to stderr and no logfile set is created.
Compile without a logfile set name first to check for
compilation errors before actually creating the logfile
set. You can redirect stderr to a file for later view‐
ing. Class and metric names and numeric IDs that have
been previously used in the logfile set will not cause
compilation errors until you run sdlcomp with the log‐
file set option.
logfile The logfile in the set that will contain the data for
this class. If the datafile named does not exist, it is
created. If a datafile with this name exists to hold
other classes, the new class is added to it. If no
datafile is named, a new datafile is created for the
class and automatically named. Only classes with unlim‐
ited CAPACITY must be in separate datafiles.
-maxclass Allows you to specify the maximum number of classes to
be provided for when creating a new logfile set. This
option is ignored if it is used with the name of an
existing logfile set. Each additional class consumes
about 500 bytes of disk space in overhead, whether the
class is used or not. The default is 10 if -maxclass is
not specified.
-verbose Prints a detailed description of the compiler output to
stdout.
-u Allows you to log more than one record per second.
Note: Use this option to log unsummarized data only.
sdlcomp-vers displays the version of this program.
sdlcomp -? displays options for this program. If your system
interprets ? as a wildcard character, use an invalid
option such as -xxx instead of -?.
