Tracing

Tracing provides detailed information about activities carried out by your application, depending on the options you select. The Open Server sample programs support tracing, sending tracing output to the Open Server log file. To enable tracing, specify the following options on the command line when executing an sample program:

example_name [normal_sample_options]
[-h] [-d] [-i] [-a] [-m] [-t] [-e] [-q] [-n]
