VALGRIND(1) Release 3.7.0 VALGRIND(1)

NAME

valgrind-listener - a simple listener program for valgrind log redirection

SYNOPSIS

valgrind-listener [ --exit-at-zero|-e] [port-number]

DESCRIPTION

valgrind-listener is a tool to be used in conjunction with Valgrind's ability to redirect its commentary output to a network socket (by means of the --log-socket option).
valgrind-listener accepts connections on the specified port and copies whatever it is sent to stdout. It can accept simultaneous connections from up to 50 Valgrinded processes. In front of each line of output it prints the current number of active connections in round brackets.
port-number changes the port on which to listen for connections (default is 1500). It must be between 1024 and 65535. The same restriction applies to port numbers specified by the --log-socket option to Valgrind itself.
Please note that killing the listener doesn't actually kill the processes sending data to it.

OPTIONS

-h --help
Show the help message.
-e --exit-at-zero
Causes the listener to exit when the number of connections falls back to zero (the default is to keep listening forever).
