- Subject: Command line utilities argument types.
I'm going to be refactoring how the command line utilities will parse
their arguments to make them as unified as possible.
I've identified 4 types of input that can be passed to a command line
utility: Pids, Core files, a command (executable with options), or nothing.
Here is my interpretation of which command line utilities can take what
types of arguments.
fcatch: pids, or a command.
fcore: pids.
fhpd: pids, corefiles, a command or nothing.
fstack: pids or cores.
fstep: pids or a command.
ftrace: pids or a command.
Is there anything I'm forgetting, or adding?
