The most interesting part -of the output is a list of memory blocks that were allocated but not -freed, which Open vSwitch developers can use to find and fix memory -leaks. -.PP -The log file must be supplied on standard input. The binary that -produced the output should be supplied as the sole non-option -argument. For best results, the binary should have debug symbols. -. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -\fB\-\-help\fR -Prints a usage message and exits. -.SH BUGS -The output can be hard to interpret, especially for a daemon that does -not exit in normal operation. Using \fBovs\-appctl\fR(8) to invoke -the \fBexit\fR command that some Open vSwitch daemons support -sometimes helps with this. -.PP -\fBovs\-parse\-leaks\fR usually incorrectly reports one or more ``bad -frees of not-allocated address'' errors at the beginning of output. -These reflect frees of data that were allocated before the leak -checker was turned on during program initialization. |
