Tracing

Tracing provides detailed information about activities that your application carried out, 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 these options on the command line when executing an sample program:

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

Table 4-1 describes the type of tracing information that each option provides:
