IntelĀ® Trace Collector 9.1 Update 2 User and Reference Guide

STOPFILE-NAME

Syntax

STOPFILE-NAME <file name>

Variable

VT_STOPFILE_NAME

Description

Specifies the name of a file which indicates that the Intel Trace Collector should stop the application prematurely and write a tracefile. This works only with the fail-safe Intel Trace Collector libraries. On Linux* systems the same behavior can be achieved by sending the signal SIGINT to one of the application processes, but this is not possible on Microsoft* Windows* OS.

If specified, the Intel Trace Collector checks for the existence of such a file from time to time. If detected, the stop file is removed again and the shutdown is initiated.
