HELPLIB.HLB  —  ANALYZE  /IMAGE  Qualifiers

1    /FIXUP_SECTION

       /FIXUP_SECTION (VAX and Alpha only)

    Positional qualifier.

    Specifies that the analysis should include all information in the
    fixup section of the image.

    If you specify the /FIXUP_SECTION qualifier after the
    ANALYZE/IMAGE command, the fixup section of each image file in
    the parameter list is analyzed.

    If you specify the /FIXUP_SECTION qualifier after a file
    specification, only the information in the fixup section of that
    image file is analyzed.

2    /FLAGVALUES

       /FLAGVALUES (I64 only)

    Several fields in an ELF module represent bit flags. Where
    possible, these bit-flag values are examined and displayed
    individually. By default, only the flag values that are set to
    1 (ON) are displayed.

    The keywords are as follows:

    Keyword    Description

    ON         The keyword ON displays all flags whose value is 1.
    OFF        The keyword OFF displays all flags whose value is 0.
    ALL        The keyword ALL displays all flag values. The keywords
               ON and OFF, in contrast, indicate the value of each
               specific flag bit.

3    /GST

       /GST (VAX and Alpha only)

    Positional qualifier.

    Specifies that the analysis should include all global symbol
    table records. This qualifier is valid only for shareable images.

    If you specify the /GST qualifier after the ANALYZE/IMAGE
    command, the global symbol table records of each image file in
    the parameter list are analyzed.

    If you specify the /GST qualifier after a file specification,
    only the global symbol table records of that file are analyzed.

4    /HEADER

       /HEADER (VAX and Alpha only)

    Positional qualifier.

    Specifies that the analysis should include all header items and
    image section descriptions. The image header items are always
    analyzed.

5    /INTERACTIVE

       /INTERACTIVE
       /NOINTERACTIVE (default)

    Specifies whether the analysis is interactive. In interactive
    mode, as each item is analyzed, the results are displayed on the
    screen and you are asked whether you want to continue.

6    /MODULE

       /MODULE [=(module_name[,...]) ] (I64 only)

    Selectively formats debug or traceback information for the named
    module or list of modules. You must request debug or traceback
    information by using the /SECTIONS qualifier with keywords ALL,
    DEBUG or TRACE. If debug or traceback information is selectively
    formatted, then the module name is a subselection.

    If you do not specify a module name, only debug or traceback meta
    information about the available modules is printed. In this case,
    any other debug or traceback selection is deactivated.

                                   NOTE

       This qualifier is only valid for ANALYZE/IMAGE. Although
       ANALYZE/OBJECT can be used to format I64 images, Analyze
       rejects the /MODULE qualifier.

7    /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT=filespec

    Identifies the output file for storing the results of the image
    analysis. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard
    characters are not allowed in the file specification. If you
    specify a file type and omit the file name, the default file
    name ANALYZE is used. The default file type is .ANL. If you omit
    the qualifier, the results are output to the current SYS$OUTPUT
    device.

8    /PAGE_BREAK

       /PAGE_BREAK=keyword (I64 only)

    Specifies if and where page breaks (form feeds) are inserted in
    the report file. This qualifier is only useful if /OUTPUT is used
    to write a report file. It is ignored if /INTERACTIVE is used to
    specify an interactive analysis.

    Keywords include NONE, which sets no page breaks; PRINTABLE_
    REPORT, which creates page breaks as in listing files, and
    SEPARATE_INFORMATION, which sets page breaks between section
    information.

9    /PATCH_TEXT

       /PATCH_TEXT (VAX only)

    Positional qualifier.

    Specifies that the analysis include all patch text records. If
    you specify the /PATCH_TEXT qualifier after the ANALYZE/IMAGE
    command, the patch text records of each image file in the
    parameter list are analyzed.

    If you specify the /PATCH_TEXT qualifier after a file
    specification, only the patch text records of that file are
    analyzed.

10    /SECTIONS

       /SECTIONS [=(keyword[,...])] (I64 only)

    Selects individual program sections or section types to display.

                                   NOTE

       This qualifier and its keywords can only be used to form an
       inclusion list of sections to be displayed. This qualifier
       is not negatable and cannot be used to form an exclusion
       list. If no values are specified, the default keyword is
       HEADERS.

    The keywords are as follows:

    Keyword            Description

    ALL                Displays a detailed analysis of every section
                       in the module. Note that this keyword can
                       generate a large amount of output.
    CODE               Displays all of all sections of type SHT_
                       PROGBITS where the executable flag is set
                       (SHDR$M_SHF_EXECINSTR in the section header).
                       The section data will be displayed as machine
                       instructions.
    DEBUG              Analyzes and displays sections consisting
    [=(suffix[,...])]  of DWARF formatted debug information. In
                       addition, you can use a list of debug section
                       name suffixes to selectively format DEBUG
                       information.
    EXTENSIONS         Analyzes and displays sections of type SHT_
                       IA64_EXT. The data is displayed in hexadecimal
                       format.

                       VMS_LINKAGES.The data is displayed as a list
                       of linkage descriptors.
    NOBITS             Analyzes and displays sections of type SHT_
                       NOBITS. There is no module data associated
                       with sections of this type.
    NOTE               Analyzes and displays sections of type SHT_
                       NOTE. The data for this section is displayed
                       as a list of formatted OpenVMS note entries.
    NULL               Displays all sections of type PT_NULL. No a
                       data will be displayed for segments of this
                       type.
    NUMBERS=           Displays individual sections, as follows:
    (number [,...])
                       o  The selected sections will have a detailed
                          display of their header and their contents.
                          An informational message is displayed for
                          section numbers that do not exist in the
                          module.

                       o  One or more numeric values may be
                          specified.

                       o  Section numbers may be specified in
                          decimal, octal (using the %O prefix), or
                          hexadecimal (using the %X prefix).

    STRTAB             Analyzes and displays sections of type SHT_
                       STRTAB. The data for this section is displayed
                       as a string table.
    SYMTAB             Displays sections of type SHT_SYMTAB. The
                       data for this section is displayed as a symbol
                       table.
    SYMBOL_VECTOR      Sections of this type will only appear in
                       sharable image files. If present, they point
                       to the same data as the dynamic segment DT_
                       VMS_SYMVEC tags.
    TRACE              Analyzes and displays sections consisting of
    [=(suffix[,...])]  traceback information. In addition, you can
                       use a list of trace section name suffixes to
                       selectively format TRACE information.
    UNWIND             Analyzes and displays sections of type SHT_
                       IA64_UNWIND. Each section of this type has an
                       associated Unwind Information section of type
                       SHT_PROGBITS. This associated section is also
                       displayed.

11    /SEGMENTS

       /SEGMENTS [=(keyword[,...])] (I64 only)

    Selects individual program segments or program segments of a
    specified type to be displayed.

                                   NOTE

       This qualifier and its keywords can only be used to form an
       inclusion list of segments to be displayed. This qualifier
       is not negatable and cannot be used to form an exclusion
       list. If no values are specified, the default keyword is
       HEADERS.

    The keywords are as follows:

    Keyword    Description

    ALL        Analyzes and displays information for every program
               segment. Note that this can generate a large amount of
               output.
    CODE       Analyzes and displays all executable segments
               (PHDR$M_PF_X bit set in the segment header). Segment
               data is displayed as machine instructions.
    DYNAMIC    Analyzes and displays the segment of type PT_DYNAMIC.
    EXTENSIONS Analyzes and displays segments of type IA_64_ARCHEXT.
    HEADERS    The default keyword. Analyzes and displays the ELF
               header and segment header details.
    LOAD       Analyzes and displays segments of type PT_LOAD. If the
               segment header indicates this is an executable segment
               (PHDR$M_PF_X bit set in the segment header), the
               contents will be formatted as machine instructions,
               otherwise the contents are formatted as hexadecimal
               data.
    NULL       Analyzes and displays segments of type PT_NULL. No a
               data will be displayed for segments of this type.
    NUMBERS=   Analyzes and displays individual segments, as follows:
    (number
    [,...])    o  The selected segments have a detailed display of
                  header and content information. For section numbers
                  that do not exist in the module, an informational
                  message is displayed.

               o  One or more numeric values may be specified.

               o  Segment numbers may be specified in decimal, octal
                  (using the %O prefix), or hexadecimal (using the %X
                  prefix).

12    /SELECT

       /SELECT=(keyword[,...])

    Allows for the collection of specific image file information and
    displays the selected keyword items in the order specified.

    Analyze creates DCL symbols for all selectable information with
    the /SELECT qualifier. The symbol names consist of the prefix
    ANALYZE$ and a descriptive name of the information they hold.
    The symbol value is the selected information, usually printed
    to SYS$OUTPUT. Effectively, all of the printed information
    is duplicated in the symbols. For unselected information, the
    corresponding symbols will contain the null string.

    The keywords are as follows:

    Keyword         Description

    ARCHITECTURE    Writes the architecture information into the DCL
                    symbol ANALYZE$ARCHITECTURE. Returns "OpenVMS
                    IA64" if the file is an OpenVMS I64 image file.
                    Returns "OpenVMS Alpha" if the file is an OpenVMS
                    Alpha image file. Returns "OpenVMS VAX" if the
                    file is an OpenVMS VAX image file.

    BUILD_          Writes build identification information into
    IDENTIFICATION  the DCL symbol ANALYZE$BUILD_IDENTIFICATION.
                    For OpenVMS I64 and Alpha image files, returns
                    the image build identification stored in the
                    image file, enclosed in quotation marks. For
                    OpenVMS VAX image files, the null string that
                    is represented by adjacent quotation marks is
                    returned.

    FILE_TYPE       Writes file type information into the DCL symbol
                    ANALYZE$FILE_TYPE. Returns "Image" if the file is
                    an OpenVMS I64, Alpha, or VAX image file.

    IDENTIFICATION  The possible keywords are as follows:
    [=keyword]
                    o  IMAGE (default) - Writes the image
                       identification information into the DCL symbol
                       ANALYZE$IDENTIFICATION. Returns the image
                       identification that is stored in the image
                       file, enclosed in quotation marks. Otherwise,
                       returns "Unknown".

                    o  LINKER - Writes the linker identification
                       information into the DCL symbol
                       ANALYZE$LINKER_IDENTIFICATION. Returns the
                       identification of the linker used to link the
                       image.

    IMAGE_TYPE      Writes image type information into the DCL
                    symbol ANALYZE$IMAGE_TYPE. Returns "Shareable"
                    if the file is a shareable image file.
                    Returns "Executable" if the file is either an
                    OpenVMS I64, Alpha, or OpenVMS VAX executable
                    (nonshareable) image file.

    LINK_TIME       Writes link time information into the DCL symbol
                    ANALYZE$LINK_TIME. For image files, returns the
                    image link time that is stored in the image file,
                    enclosed in quotation marks.

    NAME            Writes link time information into the DCL symbol
                    ANALYZE$NAME. For image files, returns the image
                    name that is stored in the image file, enclosed
                    in quotation marks.

    VERSION_        Writes the system and component version numbers
    NUMBERS         into DCL symbols. The DCL symbol names and
    (Alpha and      values are similar to the printed output of
    I64 only)       ANALYZE/IMAGE; that is, there is a symbol for
                    each component. The symbol names consist of the
                    prefix "ANALYZE$SYS$K_" and the component name
                    consists of "BASE_IMAGE", "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT",
                    and so forth. If the analyzed image depends on a
                    component, the component's version number saved
                    in the image is also in the corresponding DCL
                    symbol. The other DCL symbols contain an empty
                    string. The symbol value, the version, consists
                    of a major and minor version number, separated by
                    a dot and enclosed in parantheses.

                    In addition, if the image runs on the same
                    platform as Analyze, then the component's version
                    of the running system are stored in the DCL
                    symbols. Then, within the parentheses, the image
                    and system versions are separated by a slash.
                    In this case, both versions are compared. The
                    comparision is performed by an LEQUAL check for
                    major-/minor-IDs. If there is a mismatch, Analyze
                    prints an informational message. Note also that
                    the system version is saved in the DCL symbol of
                    the BASE_IMAGE component.

                                   NOTE

       The Analyze utility can work on several files. Because
       there is only one set of DCL symbols, the symbols only
       contain information from the last analyzed file. When an
       error occurs, symbol values are undefined. Check for Analyze
       errors first, then use the symbols.
