5848.0. "redirecting output of cma_printf" by ATYISA::ROGGEBAND (Unplugged) Fri Jan 28 1994 04:18

    Hello,
    
    We are using DECmcc which is based on DEcthreads, and which replaces
    all printf statements with cma_printf calls.
    
    Is there an (easy) way to redirect the output of cma_printf to a file
    rather than  a terminal? (e.g. by a logical, or some other means) ? 
    
    Regards,
    
    Philippe.

	Philippe,

    Could you precise a bit your environment : VMS/ULTRIX/both, home made
    AM/FM/PM or standard MCC ones, etc...

    Have you an answer for this problem using standard printf : suppose you
    do not use MCC, how would you redirect all printf output ?

    Regards.

    Pierre.

    Environment: Ultrix, home-made AM

    I'm not an U*ix expert, but I believe you can redirect the standard
    output (stdout ?) 
    
    The problem is that the development team has to provide a trace on file
    to pass "quality" related tests, which is why they need this
    redirection.

5848.3Try redirecting the whole outputTAEC::LAVILLATMon Jan 31 1994 12:0829
Philippe,

The simplest way to do it is to redirect the output of your AM by 
starting it manually and redirct the output to a file : 

just type on the Ultrix prompt 'mcc_mymm_am X [Y/N] > filename' 

The number X can be determined by doing 'ps aux' on a system already 
running the mcc_mymm_am. Do not forget to kill any existing mcc_mymm_am
process before starting it manually (but I suppose you know this already).

for example :

mcc_domain_fm 2 Y > domain_output.lis

This will redirect all your output to the file 'filename'.

You may have a few problem with output buffering, but I can tell you more
on this if you *really* have the problem.

I do not know any simpler solution.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Pierre.
