One can dtrace dtrace as in use the kernel framework + command to debug the command and library. We do this often. One cannot debug DTrace the kernel software, though, since you can't instrument the kernel portion of the instrumentation framework. This would violate the s/w laws of physics. Also for those of you who find this fun you can truss truss truss truss. -Mike -- Mike Shapiro, Solaris Kernel Development. blogs.sun.com/mws/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
