The VSPerfCmd.exe PF option sets the profiling event that is sampled to page faults, and it optionally changes the number of page faults in a sampling interval from the default of 10.

Note

PF cannot be used on 64-bit systems.

PF can only be used in a command line that also contains the Launch or the Attach option.

By default, the sampling event is set to non-halted processor clock cycles and the sampling interval is set to 10,000,000. The Timer, PF, Sys, and Counter options enable you to set the sample event and sampling interval. The GC option collects .NET memory data at each allocation and garbage collection event. Only one of these options can be specified on a command line.

The sampling event and sampling interval can be set only in the first command line that contains a Launch or an Attach option.

Syntax

VSPerfCmd.exe {/Launch:AppName|/Attach:PID} /PF[:Events] [Options]

Parameters

Events An integer value that specifies the number of page fault events in a sampling interval. If Events is not specified, the interval is set to 10.

Required options

PF can only be specified on a command line that contains one of the following options.

Launch: AppName Starts the profiler and the application specified by AppName.

Attach: PID Attaches the profiler to the process specified by AppName.

Invalid options

The following options cannot be specified on the same command line as PF.

Timer[:Cycles] Sets the sampling event to processor clock cycles and optionally sets the sampling interval to Cycles. The default Timer interval is 10,000,000.

Sys[:Events] Sets the sampling event to calls from the profiled application to the operating system kernel (syscalls) and optionally sets the sampling interval to Events. The default Sys interval is 10.

Counter: Name[,Reload[,FriendlyName]] Sets the sampling event to the CPU performance counter specified by Name and sets the sampling interval to Reload.

GC[:{Allocation|Lifetime}] Collects .NET memory data. By default (Allocation), data is collected at every memory allocation event. When the Lifetime parameter is specified, data is also collected at each garbage collection event.

Example

This example demonstrates how to set the profiling sample event to page faults and set the sampling interval to 20 page faults.

VSPerfCmd.exe /Start:Sample /Output:TestApp.exe.vsp
VSPerfCmd.exe /Launch:TestApp.exe /PF:20
