Description

If your data files are stored in a separate location from the application, use the app-working-dir option to specify the application working directory.

Example

This command line example changes the application directory to C:\myAppDirectory (on Windows*) and to /home/myAppDirectory(on Linux*) to run the myApp application, uses binary and symbol files found in the directory specified by the search-dir option to finalize the result, writes the result in the default result directory, and then returns to the working directory.

On Windows:

vtune-cl -collect hotspots -app-working-dir C:\myAppDirectory -search-dir C:\mySources -- myApp.exe

On Linux:

vtune-cl -collect hotspots -app-working-dir /home/myAppDirectory -search-dir /home/mySources -- myApp
