er_html(1)er_html(1)NAMEer_html - generate an HTML file from an experiment for browsing the
data
SYNOPSISer_html [-AO] [-h -q -v -V] [-c path ] [-o | -O directory ] experi‐
ment1 [ experiment2 ...]
DESCRIPTION
The er_html command can process one or more experiments or experiment
groups to generate a directory containing an HTML file, index.html,
which can be used to browse the data.
The er_html command is particularly useful in situations where you wish
to remotely analyze the performance of an application, work with other
team members who are located at other sites, or in archiving the per‐
formance of the application before some modifications are made.
OPTIONS
If invoked with no arguments, print a usage message. If /bin/perl is
not installed on the system, fail with the message: "er_html: Command
not found", even though it is perl, not er_html that is missing. If
the version of perl on the system is not recent enough, er_html may
fail with a message about an undefined variable.
-AO Suppress automatic selection of metrics. By default, er_html
will attempt to pick the appropriate metrics to display from the
experiment(s) given on the commandline. This option will
restrict the metrics to just user, system, and wall time.
-c path
er_html uses the er_print command from SunStudio. If both Sun‐
Studio and er_html are installed in the default location,
er_html will find er_print. If either is installed in a loca‐
tion different from the default one, the path to er_print has to
be specified with the -c flag. The flag can also be used to
choose er_print from a location other than the default one.
-h Print help information.
-o directory
Place output from er_html in the specified directory. If not
specified, use a directory named ./er.n.html, where n is the
first name not in use. If the name is specified, it may have
any form, as long as the directory does not exist at the time
er_html is invoked.
-O directory
Place output from er_html in the specified directory, overwrit‐
ing the existing contents of the directory.
-q Supress information messages which would normally be output to
stdout.
-V Print the current version. Do not examine further arguments and
perform no further processing.
-v Print the current version and further detailed debugging infor‐
mation about the conversion being run.
