HP UX IPFilter Software manual How to Specify Load Module Names

module-default all

module-include libdl.so

module-exclude • uld.so

•dld.so

•libsin.so

You cannot override the settings for uld.so, dld.so, and libsin.so.

How to Specify Load Module Names

HP Caliper matches load module names in the following way:

•If you provide a full path for the module name, only an exact match succeeds.

•To imply all modules within a directory and its subdirectories, you provide a directory name with a trailing slash (/).

•If you do not specify the full path, only the base file name is used to match module names. For example, if you specify the full path like this:

--module-include /usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so

You get these results:
/usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so	match
/usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so.1	no match
/usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so	no match

If you provide the base file name without the full path, HP Caliper considers it a match if the base file name is the suffix of the loaded module or if the base file name is present in the load module's full path and followed by a period (.).

For example:

--module-exclude libc

gives these results:
/usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so	match
/usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so.1	match
Here is another example:
--module-include libcur
gives these results:
/usr/lib/hpux64/	no match
libcurses.so

To match, you would have to specify libcurses.

You can repeat each of these options multiple times. HP Caliper uses the last value of --module-defaultgiven.

If you specify --module-default all, then HP Caliper uses only files specified in the --module-excludelist.

If you specify --module-default none, then HP Caliper uses only files specified in the --module-includelist.

For example, if you only want to include libc in a measurement, you would use these options:

--module-default none --module-include libc
