NAME
mpatrol - runs programs using the mpatrol librarySYNOPSIS
mpatrol [options] <command> [arguments]DESCRIPTION
The mpatrol command is used to set various mpatrol library options when running command with its arguments. In most cases, command must have been linked with the mpatrol library, unless the --dynamic option is used in which case command need only have been dynamically linked.All mpatrol library diagnostics are sent to the file mpatrol.%n.log in the current directory by default (where %n is the current process id) but this can be changed using the --log-file option. Similarly, the default profiling output filename is mpatrol.%n.out and the default tracing output filename is mpatrol.%n.trace.
OPTIONS
All of the following options (except --dynamic, --help, --read-env, --show-env, --threads and --version) correspond to their listed mpatrol library option. See libmpatrol(3) for more details on these options.- --alloc-byte <unsigned integer> [-a]
- [ALLOCBYTE] Specifies an 8-bit byte pattern with which to prefill newly-allocated memory.
- --alloc-stop <unsigned integer> [-A]
- [ALLOCSTOP] Specifies an allocation index at which to stop the program when it is being allocated.
- --allow-oflow [-M]
- [ALLOWOFLOW] Specifies that a warning rather than an error should be produced if any memory operation function overflows the boundaries of a memory allocation, and that the operation should still be performed.
- --auto-save <unsigned integer> [-s]
- [AUTOSAVE] Specifies the frequency at which to periodically write the profiling data to the profiling output file.
- --check <unsigned range> [-c]
- [CHECK] Specifies a range of allocation indices at which to check the integrity of free memory and overflow buffers.

- [CHECKALL] Equivalent to the --check-allocs, --check-reallocs, --check-frees and --check-memory options specified together.
- --check-allocs
- [CHECKALLOCS] Checks that no attempt is made to allocate a block of memory of size zero.
- --check-fork
- [CHECKFORK] Checks at every call to see if the process has been forked in case new log, profiling and tracing output files need to be started.
- --check-frees

- [DEFALIGN] Specifies the default alignment for general-purpose memory allocations, which must be a power of two.
- --dynamic [-d]

- --limit <unsigned integer> [-u]
- [LIMIT] Specifies the limit in bytes at which all memory allocations should fail if the total allocated memory should increase beyond this.
- --list [-i]
- [LIST] Specifies that a context listing should be shown for any relevant source files that are associated with any warnings or errors when they occur.
- --log-all [-L]
- [LOGALL] Equivalent to the --log-allocs, --log-reallocs, --log-frees and --log-memory options specified together.
- --log-allocs
- [LOGALLOCS] Specifies that all memory allocations are to be logged and sent to the log file.
- --log-file <string> [-l]
- [LOGFILE] Specifies an alternative file in which to place all diagnostics from the mpatrol library.
- --log-frees
- [LOGFREES] Specifies that all memory deallocations are to be logged and sent to the log file.
- --log-memory
- [LOGMEMORY] Specifies that all memory operations are to be logged and sent to the log file.
- --log-reallocs
- [LOGREALLOCS] Specifies that all memory reallocations are to be logged and sent to the log file.
- --medium-bound <unsigned integer>
- [MEDIUMBOUND] Specifies the limit in bytes up to which memory allocations should be classified as medium allocations for profiling purposes.
- --no-free <unsigned integer> [-n]
- [NOFREE] Specifies that a number of recently-freed memory allocations should be prevented from being returned to the free memory pool.
- --no-protect [-N]
- [NOPROTECT] Specifies that the mpatrol library's internal data structures should not be made read-only after every memory allocation, reallocation or deallocation.
- --oflow-byte <unsigned integer> [-o]
- [OFLOWBYTE] Specifies an 8-bit byte pattern with which to fill the overflow buffers of all memory allocations.
- --oflow-size <unsigned integer> [-O]
- [OFLOWSIZE] Specifies the size in bytes to use for all overflow buffers, which must be a power of two.
- --oflow-watch [-w]
- [OFLOWWATCH] Specifies that watch point areas should be used for overflow buffers rather than filling with the overflow byte.
- --page-alloc-lower [-b]
- [PAGEALLOC=LOWER] Specifies that each individual memory allocation should occupy at least one page of virtual memory and should be placed at the lowest point within these pages.
- --page-alloc-upper [-B]
- [PAGEALLOC=UPPER] Specifies that each individual memory allocation should occupy at least one page of virtual memory and should be placed at the highest point within these pages.
- --preserve [-v]
- [PRESERVE] Specifies that any reallocated or freed memory allocations should preserve their original contents.

- --trace [-t]
- Specifies that all memory allocations are to be traced and sent to the tracing output file.
- --trace-file <string> [-T]
- Specifies an alternative file in which to place all memory allocation tracing information from the mpatrol library.
