✨ gp-display-html — NAME ✨

okay bestie, so <pink>gp-display-html</pink> is literally here to generate an HTML based directory structure to browse the profiles 💖 it's one of the gprofng girlies, and she's about to turn your experiment data into something you can actually look at.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gprofng display html [option(s)] experiment(s)

like… you give her options, you give her experiments, she does the thing. no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: she processes one or more experiments and generates a directory containing the index.html file, which you then use to browse the experiment data. That's it, that's the whole job, and she ate. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --version — prints the version number and dips. exit, stage left. ✨
  • --help — prints usage information and exits. your friendly lil cheat sheet 🫶
  • --verbose — turns on verbose mode so you get diagnostic messages about the processing of the data. by default verbose mode is disabled. (so if you want the tea, you gotta ask for it 🍓)
  • -d [db-vol-size], --debug[=db-vol-size] — controls the printing of run time debug information, which helps with troubleshooting or with the further development of this tool. 🔍 the db-vol-size parameter controls the output volume and it's one of the list s, S, m, M, l, L, xl, or XL. if db-vol-size isn't set, a modest amount of information is printed — that's equivalent to selecting s, or S. the volume of data goes up as the size increases 📈. note that currently l/L is equivalent to xl/XL, but that's expected to change in future updates. by default debug mode is disabled.
  • --highlight-percentage=value — set a percentage value in the interval [0,100] to select and color code source lines, as well as instructions, that are within this percentage of the maximum metric value(s). the default is 90 (%). a value of zero disables this feature entirely 🚫.
  • -o dirname, --output=dirname — use dirname as the directory name to store the results in. if you don't use this option, the default name is display.<n>.html 🌈. this directory is created in the current directory. the number <n> is the first positive integer number not in use in this naming scheme. an existing directory with the same name is not overwritten — if the directory already exists, an error message is printed and the tool terminates 💀.
  • -O dirname, --overwrite=dirname — use dirname as the directory name to store the results in. in absence of this option, the default name is display.<n>.html. this directory is created in the current directory. the number <n> is the first positive integer number not in use in this naming scheme. an existing directory with the same name is silently overwritten 🫣 (yes bestie, she's not gonna warn you. that's the whole point of the capital O).
  • -q, --quiet — disables the display of all warning, debug, verbose and any other messages. if enabled, the settings for verbose and debug are accepted, but ignored. with this option there's no screen output, other than errors. by default quiet mode is disabled 🤫.
  • --nowarnings — disables the printing of warning messages on stdout. by default, warning messages are printed.

💜 NOTES 💜

  • the options and values are case sensitive. lowercase matters, bestie, she's picky like that 💅
  • in this release, the option syntax has changed to be more compliant with other tools and commands. 🔄 the options that used to have an on or off value only now act as a switch. the option negates the default setting. for example, by default verbose mode is disabled — it's enabled by using the --verbose option. the long options, those starting with --, that require a value, expect the = sign between the option and the value. while the previous syntax and choices are accepted still, we strongly recommend changing the usage of the options according to the new syntax and values. at some point, these legacy settings may no longer be accepted ⚠️. to assist with the transition, a warning message is shown if the legacy syntax, or value, or both, are used.
  • the -hp option is still accepted, but it will be deprecated in a future release. use the --highlight-percentage option instead 👑.
  • when setting a directory name for the HTML files to be stored in, make sure that umask is set to the correct access permissions 🔐.
  • regardless of the setting for the warning messages, if there are warnings, they are accessible through the main index.html page 📄.
  • the tool tries to accumulate as many warnings and errors as possible before taking action. this way it's easier to address multiple issues at once 🫶. as a result of this approach, it may be that the messages don't show immediately. in particular, warnings are shown towards the end of the execution, but one or more errors will terminate execution before the processing begins 💀.
