| trace |
| |
Starts the tracing of system events. The trace log file and
the internal trace buffers that collect trace event data can be
managed, including their size, by this command. |
| trcdead |
| |
Extracts trace information from a system dump. If the system halts
while the trace facilities are active, the contents of the internal trace
buffers are captured. This command extracts the trace event data from the
dump and writes it to the trace log file. |
| trcrpt |
| |
The trcrpt command formats reports of trace event data contained
in the trace log file. You can specify the events to be included
(or omitted) in the report, as well as determine the presentation of the
output with this command. The trcrpt command uses the trace formatting
templates stored in the /etc/trcfmt file to determine how to interpret
the data recorded for each event. |
| trcstop |
| |
Stops the tracing of system events. |
| trcupdate |
| |
Updates the trace formatting templates stored in the /etc/trcfmt
file. When you add applications or kernel extensions that record trace
events, templates for these events must be added to the /etc/trcfmt
file. The trcrpt command uses the trace formatting templates to
determine how to interpret the data recorded for each event. Software products
that record events usually run the trcupdate command as part of
the installation process. |
| trcgen,
trcgent |
| |
Records trace events consisting of more than five words of data. The
trcgen subroutine may be used to record an event as part of the
system event trace (trace channel 0) or to record an event on a generic
trace channel (channels 1 through 7). You specify the channel number in
a subroutine parameter when you record the trace event. The trcgent
subroutine appends a time stamp to the event data. |
| trcgenk,trcgenkt |
| |
Used by kernel extensions to record trace events consisting of more
than five words of data. May be used to record an event as part of the
system event trace (trace channel 0) or to record an event on a generic
trace channel (channels 1 through 7). You specify the channel number in
a subroutine parameter when you record the trace event. The trcgenkt
subroutine appends a time stamp to the event data. |
| trchook,
utrchook |
| |
Records up to five words of data. These subroutines may be used to
record an event as part of the system event trace (trace channel 0). The
utrchook subroutine uses a special FAST-SVC path to improve performance
and should be used by programs at the user (application) level. |
| trcoff |
| |
Suspends the collection of trace data on either the system event trace
channel (channel 0) or a generic trace channel (1 through 7). The trace
channel remains active and trace data collection can be resumed by using
the trcon subroutine. |
| trcon |
| |
Starts the collection of trace data on a trace channel. The channel
may be either the system event trace channel (0) or a generic channel (1
through 7). The trace channel, however, must have been previously activated
by using the trace command or the trcstart subroutine. You
can suspend trace data collection by using the trcoff subroutine. |
| trcstart |
| |
Requests a generic trace channel. This subroutine activates a generic
trace channel and returns the channel ID to the calling application to
use in recording trace events using the trcgen, trcgent,
trcgenk, and trcgenkt subroutines. |
| trcstop |
| |
Frees and deactivates a generic trace channel. |
