OPARCHIVE(1)             General Commands Manual             OPARCHIVE(1)
       oparchive - produce archive of oprofile data for offline analysis
       oparchive [ options ] [profile specification] -o [directory]
       The oparchive utility is commonly used for collecting profile data
       on a "target" system for future offline analysis on a different
       ("host") machine.  oparchive creates a directory populated with
       executables, libraries, debuginfo files, and oprofile sample
       files. This directory can be tar'ed up and moved to another
       machine to be analyzed without further use of the target machine.
       Using opreport and other post-profiling tools against archived
       data requires the use of the archive:<archived-dir> specification.
       See oprofile(1) for how to write profile specifications.  A
       complete description of offline analysis can be found in the
       chapter titled Analyzing profile data on another system
       (oparchive) of the OProfile user manual. (See the user manual URL
       in the "SEE ALSO" section below.)
       --help / -? / --usage
              Show help message.
       --version / -v
              Show version.
       --verbose / -V [options]
              Give verbose debugging output.
       --session-dir=dir_path
              Use sample database from the specified directory dir_path
              instead of the default location. If --session-dir is not
              specified, then oparchive will search for samples in
              <current_dir>/oprofile_data first. If that directory does
              not exist, the standard session-dir of /var/lib/oprofile is
              used.
       --image-path / -p [paths]
              Comma-separated list of additional paths to search for
              binaries.  This is needed to find modules in kernels 2.6
              and upwards.
       --root / -R [path]
              A path to a filesystem to search for additional binaries.
       --output-directory / -o [directory]
              Output to the given directory. There is no default. This
              must be specified.
       --exclude-dependent / -x
              Do not include application-specific images for libraries,
              kernel modules and the kernel. This option only makes sense
              if the profile session used --separate.
       --list-files / -l
              Only list the files that would be archived, don't copy
              them.
       No special environment variables are recognized by oparchive.
       <session_dir>/samples
              The location of the generated sample files.
