ImpDump - Clean up any processes and IPC items left behind by IMP.

Function

Dumps the contents of the Root Message Spaces of the loaded tasks.

Description

This program exists in order to provide a stand-alone program that can call the diagnostic routine ImpSysProbe(). In a system such as VxWorks ImpProbe can be called directly, but in other systems such as UNIX a main program is needed as well. The reason for calling one ImpSysProbe and the other ImpDump is just in order to have different names for the two source files. Any arguments to this program are concatenated and passed to ImpSysProbe() as its qualifier string, so the options this supports are the same as those supported by ImpSysProbe().

Invocation

ImpDump

Options

-t task Specifies a task to be dumped by name. ImpDump dumps all information about this task and details of any connections to this task. -t pid Specifies a task to be dumped by pid. -b task Specifies a task by name. ImpDump dumps the details of any connections to this task. -b pid Specifies a task by pid. Otherwise as for -b name. -nbd ImpDump dumps all information in the user noticeboard.

If no options at all are specified, ImpDump dumps all information about every task in the system.
