------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe that the {code}--dir=./tmp{code} will be discarded also, if the
command is not sent over HTTP/*S. Such is the behavior described in the
{code}--dir={code} help text:
> Value is required for parameter "dir: Local directory to which logs will be
> written. This is used only when you are exporting logs using an http
> connection. If not specified, logs are written to the location specified by
> the user.dir system property.
It is also worth noting that the default export path is not the Geode install
directory, but the locator's folder. In your case, because the working
directory for gfsh was the install directory when you spawned the locator, the
locator folder defaulted there. The subsequently exported log then defaulted
to the locator's folder, which happens in this case to be a subdirectory of the
Geode install.
