The application 'convert' is used to convert an old format tracefile into a new
-format tracefile. It has three commandline parameters, the first is tracefile
-name, the second is a number (number of cpu), the last one is root directory
-for the new trace (this can be omitted, by default it is 'foo')
+format tracefile. It has four commandline parameters, the first is tracefile
+name, the second is process file, the third is a number (the number of cpu in the machine),
+the last one is root directory for the new trace (this can be omitted,
+by default it is 'foo')
The command line looks like this:
- convert tracefile_name number_cpu foo_dir
+ convert tracefile_name processfile_name the_number_of_cpu foo_dir
-There is also an script file 'sysInfo' which is used to get system information
+There is also a script file 'sysInfo' which is used to get system information
from your local machine, the information is saved in 'sysInfo.out' which will
be read by 'convert' later. If the old tracefile is generated in other machine,
then the 'sysInfo.out' should be gotten from that machine.
