geSaveProbe

geSaveProbe( 
[ w_windowId ] 
[ p_port ] 
)
=> t / nil 

Description

Saves probes to a port.

The probes are saved in the file by dumping out the entire property list associated with the probe. This enables the probe to be restored because the necessary information is in the property list. This also allows the restoring of any user-defined or application-specific properties that might have been put on the probes.

Arguments

w_windowId	Database ID of the window containing the probes you want saved. If not specified, the current window is used.
p_port	Port to save the probe information through. If p_port is not specified, the probes are stored into the file probe.out.

Value Returned

t	A probe was found and saved.
nil	A probe was not found and saved.

Examples

Writes out all probes in window(3) to the file /tmp/myProbes.out.

m = outfile( "/tmp/myProbes.out" )

geSaveProbe( window(3) m )
