NAME

btrace — bug tracer

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The btrace utility provides an interface to inspect the internals of the system and programs. It interprets the bt(5) program in file and communicates with the dynamic tracer device using the interface described in dt(4).

The options are as follows:

-e program

Execute program.

-l

List all available probes.

-n

No action. Parse the program and then exit.

-v

Verbose mode. Causes btrace to print debugging messages. Multiple -v options increase the verbosity. The maximum is 2.

EXIT STATUS

The btrace utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

dt(4), bt(5)

HISTORY

The btrace utility first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7.
