sasutil

NAME

sasutil - control program for libsphde project

SYNOPSIS

sasutil [-h] [-v] [-p path] <command> [<args>]

DESCRIPTION

The sasutil utility is used to control de libsphde share memory segments, showing its internal details (memory state/dump, lock/semaphores details, etc.), memory maps and reseting its internal state.

OPTIONS

-v
Prints the sasutil version.

-h
Prints the synopsis and a list of the available commands.

-p
Path to wherever libsphde segment is located. This also can be
controlled by setting SASSTOREPATH environment variable. If not path is
given, will use the current path.

COMMANDS

The available commands are: stat, detail, reset, dump, remove, list, path, and map.

stat
Shows the overall memory statistics: total in use, total free, total
uncommited, total region free, total region used, and anchor free space.

detail
Shows detailed information, dividing each statistic from stat
command in memory block information.

reset
Resets the anchor semaphore (used to access the control shared memory
segment), the allocated segments and all internal locks. This command
is useful to reset the SPHDE state after an process finished with
unexpected error (like a SEGFAULT).

dump <address\:size>
Dumps a list of <memory:size> where <memory> is a memory address in
hexadecimal and <size> is decimal. The output is similar to
hexdump utility called with ’-C’ option.

remove
Removed the allocated segments, internal locks and anchor semaphores from
control shared memory segment).

list
List and dump in use shared memory blocks.

path
Shows the store path used (as indicated by SASSTOREPATH).

map <pid>
Shows the memory map (/proc/<pid>/maps) for PIDs indicates as aguments.
Default is current process.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The sasutil command accepts te following environment variables:

SASSTOREPATH
Defines the path to search for the store segment to attach and analyze.
