Saving Action Points to a File

You can save a program's action points into a file. TotalView will then use this information to reset these points when you restart the program. When you save action points, TotalView creates a file named program.TVD.breakpoints, where program is the name of your program.

Note:   Watchpoints are not saved.

Use the Action Point > Save All command to save your action points to a file. TotalView places the action points file in the same directory as your program.

If you are using a preference to automatically save breakpoints, TotalView will automatically save action points to a file. Alternatively, starting TotalView with the -sb option (see TotalView Command Syntax) also tells TotalView to save your breakpoints.

Automatic saving and loading is controlled by preferences (see File > Preferences within the online help for more information) and can be altered temporarily by using the -sb and -nlb options.
