vtune
The name of the
VTune
Profiler
 command line tool.
The action to perform, such as
collect
 or
report
.
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.
Long names of the options can be abbreviated. If the option consists of several words you can abbreviate each word, keeping the dash between them. Make sure an abbreviated version unambiguously matches the long name. For example, the
-option-name
 option can be abbreviated as
-opt-name
,
-op-na
,
-opt-n
, or
-o-n
.
Global-options modify behavior in the same manner for all actions. You can have multiple global-options per action.
[--] <target>
The target application to analyze.
You may use
vtune
 to analyze remote targets running on regular Linux* or Android* systems.
[target-options]
Options for the application.
