All EMMA command line tools have a set of common options:
-p, -props, -properties .properties file
This option specifies a pathname for an EMMA
property override file, in the standard
java.util.Properties format. The
pathname could be either relative (in which case it is resolved relative to the JVM's
current working directory) or absolute. See Chapter 3, EMMA Property Reference for more
information on setting EMMA properties.
-Dname=value,
-Dname:value,
-Dnamevalue
This option sets a single EMMA property. Note
that this is different from using the JVM
-D option (the
name is not
“emma.”-prefixed). See Chapter 3, EMMA Property Reference
for more information on EMMA properties.
-exit
To enable tool chaining and integration via main()
entry methods, EMMA command line tools do not terminate via
java.lang.System.exit() by
default. If desired for shell and makefile integration,
this can be changed by using this option on the command
line. The Diagnostics section on every
tool's reference page details the error codes the tool returns to
the operating system.
-silent -quiet -verbose
These options set EMMA tool verbosity levels to
be much lower than normal, lower than normal, and above
normal, respectively. These options are shortcuts to setting
the verbosity.level property.
-h, -help
This option causes EMMA tools to print their
usage summaries to System.out. The
longer form of the option results in slightly more detailed
usage printout.
