Command Syntax

The Intel Inspectorinspxe-cl command syntax is:

$ inspxe-cl <-action> [-action-options] [-global-options] [-- application [application options]]

inspxe-cl	The name of the Intel Inspector command line tool.
<-action>	The action to perform, such as collect or report. There must be only one action per command. So you cannot, for example, collect data and generate a report with the same command.
[-action-option]	Action-options modify behavior specific to the action. You can have multiple action-options per action. Using an action-option that does not apply to the action results in a usage error.
[-global-option]	Global-options modify behavior in the same manner for all actions. You can have multiple global-options per action.
[-- application]	The target application to analyze.
[application-options]	Options for the application.
