pgomgr

  • Article

Adds profile data from one or more .pgc files to the .pgd file.

Syntax

pgomgr [options] pgcfiles pgdfile

Parameters

options
The following options can be specified to pgomgr:

  • /help or /? Displays available pgomgr options.

  • /clear Causes the .pgd file to be cleared of all profile information. You cannot specify a .pgc file when /clear is specified.

  • /detail Displays detailed statistics, including flow graph coverage information.

  • /summary Displays per-function statistics.

  • /unique When used with /summary, causes decorated function names to display. The default, when /unique is not used, is for undecorated function names to be displayed.

  • /merge[:n] Causes the data in the .pgc file or files to be added to the .pgd file. The optional parameter, n, lets you specify that the data should be added n times. For example, if a scenario would commonly be done six times to reflect how often it is done by customers, you can do it once in a test run and add it to the .pgd file six times with pgomgr /merge:6.

pgcfiles
One or more .pgc files whose profile data you want to merge into the .pgd file. You can specify a single .pgc file or multiple .pgc files. If you do not specify any .pgc files, pgomgr merges all .pgc files whose filenames are the same as the .pgd file.

pgdfile
The .pgd file into which you are merging data from the .pgc file or files.

Remarks

Note

You can start this tool only from a Visual Studio developer command prompt. You cannot start it from a system command prompt or from File Explorer.

Example

This example command clears the myapp.pgd file of profile data:

pgomgr /clear myapp.pgd

This example command adds profile data in myapp1.pgc to the .pgd file three times:

pgomgr /merge:3 myapp1.pgc myapp.pgd

In this example, profile data from all myapp#.pgc files is added to the myapp.pgd file.

pgomgr -merge myapp1.pgd
