Writes ReplayEngine information including the current time, the live time, and whether the process is in replay or record mode. If you do not enter any arguments, -info is the default.

Displays the current time. The output of this command shows an integer value followed by an address. The first integer value is a virtual timestamp. This virtual timestamp does not refer to the exact point in time; it has a granularity that is typically a few lines of code. The address value is a PC value that corresponds to a precise point within that block of code.

Places the process back to the virtual time specified by the time integer argument. The time argument is a virtual timestamp as reported by dhistory -get_time. You cannot use this command to move to a specific instruction but you can use it to get to within a small block of code (usually within a few lines of your intended point in execution history). This command is typically used either for roughly bookmarking a point in code or for searching execution history. It may need to be combined with stepping and duntil commands to return to an exact position.

Places the process back to the PC and back into record mode. You can resume your “regular” debugging session.

Enables ReplayEngine, starting the history

Disables ReplayEngine, ending the history.

Saves the current replay history to a file. There is an optional argument to specify the name of the file to save to. The file specification can be a path or a simple file name, in which case it is saved in the current working directory. If no file is specified, the recording is saved in the current working directory with the file name replay_pid_hostname.recording.

To reload the recording file, use one of the following commands based on the functionality for loading core files. TotalView recognizes the recording file for what it is and acts appropriately.

To reload a recording at startup:

To reload a recording file when TotalView is running:

The recording-file argument can be either a path or a simple file name, in which case the current working directory is assumed.
