ptx: Generate a permuted index with automatically generated index references.
$ ptx --auto-reference ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "ptx --auto-reference ${filename}" is used to generate a cross-reference file for a given source code file.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "ptx" is a command-line tool used to analyze and display information about executable files and object files. It is commonly used for examining and understanding the structure and content of binaries.

  • "--auto-reference" is an option of the "ptx" command. When this option is specified, "ptx" automatically generates a cross-reference file that provides additional information about the code, such as the locations where functions or variables are referenced.

  • "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the source code file you want to analyze. You should replace "${filename}" with the actual filename, including the file extension.

By running this command with the appropriate filename, the "ptx" tool will generate a cross-reference file containing useful information about the given source code file, such as references to functions and variables within the code.
