You can direct the output of a trace to a file using the -file filename option. For example, the following command direct trace output to the file trace1:
(dbx) trace -file trace1 |
To revert trace output to standard output use - for filename. Trace output is always appended to filename. It is flushed whenever dbx prompts and when the application has exited. The filename is always re-opened on a new run or resumption after an attach.
