@c What is interesting is that it places "SEE ALSO" before "COPYRIGHT", which
@c makes sense and adhered to for the other formats.

@ManPageStart{DESCRIPTION}
@c man begin DESCRIPTION

Archive the associated application binaries and source files in a gprofng
experiment to make it self contained and portable.

By default, the binaries are archived, but the application source files
are not archived.  Use this tool to change this and afterwards archive
additional components.

@c man end

@c OPTIONS section
@c ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

@ManPageStart{OPTIONS}
@c man begin OPTIONS

@table @gcctabopt

@item --version
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{--version}}
@end ifclear

Print the version number and exit.

@item --help
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{--help}}
@end ifclear

Print usage information and exit.

@c -- @item --verbose @{on|off@}
@c -- @ifclear man
@c -- @IndexSubentry{Options, @code{--verbose}}
@c -- @end ifclear

@c -- Enable (on) or disable (off) verbose mode; the default is @samp{off}.

@item -a @{off|on|ldobjects|src|usedldobjects|usedsrc@}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-a}}
@end ifclear

Specify archiving of binaries and other files.  In addition to disable this
feature (off), or enable archiving off all loadobjects and sources (on),
the  other  op tions support a more refined selection.

All of these options enable archiving, but the keyword controls what exactly
is selected: all load objects (ldobjects), all source files (src), the
loadobjects asscoiated with a program counter (usedldobjects), or the source
files associated with a program counter (usedsrc).
The default is @samp{-a ldobjects}.

@item -n
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-n}}
@end ifclear

Archive the named experiment only, not any of its descendants.

@item -m @var{regex}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-m}}
@end ifclear

Archive only those source, object, and debug info files whose full path name
matches the given POSIX compliant @var{regex} regular expression.

@item -q
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-q}}
@end ifclear

Do not write any warnings to stderr.  Warnings are incorporated into the
.archive file in the experiment directory.  They are shown in the output 
of @command{gprofng display text}.

@item -F
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-F}}
@end ifclear

Force writing or rewriting of the archive.  This is ignored with the 
@samp{-n} or @samp{-m} option, or if this is a subexperiment.

@item -d @var{path}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-d}}
@end ifclear

The @var{path} is the absolute path path to a common archive, which is a
directory that contains archived files.  If the directory does not
exist, then it will be created.  Files are saved in the common archive
directory, and a symbolic link is created in the experiment archive.

@ManPageStart{NOTES}
@c man begin NOTES

Default archiving does not occur in case the application profiled terminates
prematurely, or if archiving is disabled when collecting the performance data.
In such cases, this tool can be used to afterwards archive the information,
but it has to be run on the same system where the profiling data was recorded.

Some Java applications store shared objects in jar files.  By default, such
shared objects are not automatically archived.  To archive shared objects
contained in jar files, the addpath directive in an .er.rc file. The addpath
directive should give the path to the jar file, including the jar file itself.
The .er.rc file should be saved in the user home directory or parent of the
experiment directory.
