Arguments
Argument
Description
<
PATH
>
The PATH/name of a directory where a result is stored. This may be an absolute pathname, or a pathname relative to the current working directory. If the final component of the pathname does not exist, it is created.
Default
If not specified, the default result name and directory are used. If not specified for a
collect
 or
collect-with
 action, a new result directory is created in the current working directory. If not specified when generating a report, the report uses the highest numbered compatible result in the current working directory. The default name for a result directory is r@@@{at}, where @@@ is the incremented number of the result, and {at} is a two- or three-letter abbreviation for the analysis type.
Description
Use the
result-dir
 option to specify the result directory. If you specify the result directory for collection or to import results from other projects, you should also specify the result directory for any actions that use this result, such as
report.
. Specifying the result directory when using the
finalize
 action is highly recommended.
If you want to specify the result directory name, you can use the auto-incremented counter pattern
@@@
 with a prefix and/or suffix.
For example, you could use the prefix
myResult-
 and the usual analysis type suffix like this:
myResult-@@@{at}
. If you then perform a memory error analysis, followed by a threading error analysis, specifying
-result-dir myResult-@@@{at}
 each time, the result directories would be assigned the following names:
myResult-000mi1
 and
myResult-001ti2
.
Both short names and long names are case-sensitive. For example,
-R
 is the short name of the
report
 action, and
-r
 is the short name of the
result-dir
 action-option.
Alternate Options
The
user-data-dir
 global-option can be used to specify the base directory for results. Result directories created under this base directory would use the default naming conventions unless specified using the
result-dir
 action-option.
Example
This example starts the Threading analysis of the
myApplication
 application and saves the results in the
baseline
 result directory.
On Linux*: 
vtune -collect threading -result-dir /temp/test/baseline  -- /temp/test/myApplication
On Windows*: 
vtune -collect threading -result-dir C:\test\baseline  -- C:\test\myApplication.exe
