-
-Archive the associated application binaries and source files in a gprofng
-experiment to make it self contained and portable.
-
-By default, the binaries are archived as part of the data collection, but the
-application source files are not archived. Use this tool to change this and
-afterwards archive additional components.
-
-This tool has to be executed on the same system where the profiling data was
-recorded.

-Specify archiving of binaries and other files. In addition to disable this

-
-All of these choices enable archiving, but the keyword controls what exactly

-
-The @var{path} is the absolute path to a common archive, which is a

-exist, then it will be created. Files are saved in the common archive
-directory, and a symbolic link is created in the experiment archive.
-

-@end ifclear
-
-Force writing, or rewriting of .archive files. All archived files will be

-or if the experiment is a subexperiment.
-
-@item -m @var{regex}

-Archive the named experiment only, not any of its descendants.
-

-
-Do not write any warnings to @file{stderr}. Warnings are incorporated into

-of the @command{gprofng display text} command.
-
-@item -r @var{path}
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-r}}
-@end ifclear
-
-This option specifies the location of a common archive. The value is the
-relative path to a common archive, which is a directory that contains
-archived files.
-If the directory does not exist, then it will be created. Files are saved
-in the common archive directory, and a symbolic link is created in the
-experiment archive.

-
-@item no
-
-Do not archive any source files.
-
-@item all
-
-Archive all source and object files that can be found.
-
-@item used[src]
-
-Archive source and object files for functions against which data was
-recorded in the experiment, and that can be found.
-@end table
-
-By default, application source files are not archived into the experiment.
-If the @samp{-s all}, or @samp{-s used} option is used, sources and object
-files are archived.
-These options also ensure that source files are available in the experiment,
-even if the original source files have been modified, or are inaccessible
-afterwards.
-
-In case archive files cannot be found, use the @samp{addpath}, or
-@samp{pathmap} command, or both, in an @file{.er.rc} file to specify the
-location of the missing file(s).

-@item
-Archiving of application binaries -
-By default, binaries are archived automatically when an experiment is
-created. However, archiving does not occur in one or more of the
-following circumstances:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-If the profiled application is terminated before it exits normally.
-
-@item
-If a running process is profiled.
-
-@item
-If archiving is explicitly disabled when profiling. For example by using
-the @samp{-a off} option on @command{gprofng collect app}.
-
-@end itemize
-
-In these cases, @command{gprofng archive} must be run manually and on the same
-machine where the profiling data was recorded.
-
-Archiving of experiment data during the data collection process can be quite
-expensive. Especially if the experiment has many descendant processes.
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-a}}
-@end ifclear
-In such cases, a more efficient strategy is to use the @samp{-a off} option
-when collecting the data. Once the collection has completed, the data can be
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-s}}
-@end ifclear
-archived using the @samp{-s all} option. This saves all executables and
-source files in the experiment.
-
-If during the archiving there is an error message that an executable, or
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{addpath}}
-@end ifclear
-source file cannot be found, the @samp{addpath} command to add the path
-to the missing file(s) can be included in the @file{.er.rc} file.
-After this command has been added, archive the experiment again. The
-archiving archiving can be repeated as many times as necessary to archive all
-files.
-
-Archiving should be done on the same system as was used to collect the
-experiment. If some files cannot be accessed from this system (e.g. sources
-or object files), then additional archiving can be done using another system
-that can access them. For example, the system where the application was built.
-
-Some Java applications store shared objects in jar files. By default, such
-shared objects are not automatically archived. To archive shared objects
-contained in jar files, make sure to include the @samp{addpath} command in
-an @file{.er.rc} file.
-The @samp{addpath} command should give the path to the jar file, including
-the jar file itself. The @file{.er.rc} file should be saved in the user home
-directory, or experiment parent directory.
-
-@item
-Archiving of application sources -
-By default, application source files are not archived in the experiment.
-Execute the @command{gprofng archive} command with the @samp{-s all}, or
-@samp{-s used} option on each experiment to store source files in the
-experiment.
-
-@item
-Automatic archiving of application sources -
-Environment variable @samp{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE} may be set to automatically
-archive sources when the experiment has completed. This environment
-variable can contain @samp{-s} and @samp{-m} arguments, as pairs of
-argument and options, separated by one or more blanks.
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Environment variables, @code{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE}}
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-a}}
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-m}}
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-s}}
-@end ifclear
-
-If more than one @samp{-s} argument appears on the command line, the
-last one prevails. If @samp{-s} is both passed on the command line, and
-set by the environment variable, the option from the environment variable
-prevails.
-
-Note that in case automatic source archiving during data collection has
-been enabled using either the @samp{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE} variable, or the
-@samp{-a src}, or @samp{-a usedsrc} option, it is recommended to confirm that
-source files have been correctly resolved by executing the
-@command{gprofng archive -s all}, or @command{gprofng archive -s used}
-command.
-
-@item
-The @samp{-d} and @samp{-r} options are mutually exclusive.
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-d}}
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-r}}
-@end ifclear
-
-@item
-When using the @samp{-d} or @samp{-r} option, environment variable
-@ifclear man
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-d}}
-@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-r}}
-@IndexSubentry{Environment variables, @code{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE_COMMON_DIR}}
-@end ifclear
-@samp{GPROFNG_ARCHIVE_COMMON_DIR} can be used to specify the location of
-the common archive. This can be very convenient when using a script to
-profile applications.
-
-@item
-If more than one @samp{-s} option is given on the command line, or
-specified in the environment variable, the specified option for all must
-be the same. If not, @command{gprofng archive} exits with an error.
-
-@item
-This tool does not work on experiments recorded with earlier versions of
-the tools. If invoked on such experiments, a warning is printed. Use the
-version of @command{gprofng archive} from the same release with which the
-experiment was recorded.
