.Dd June 6, 1993 .Dt KDUMP 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm kdump .Nd display kernel trace data .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl dnlRT .Op Fl f Ar file .Op Fl m Ar maxdata .Op Fl p Ar pid .Op Fl t Op cnisuw .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm command displays the kernel trace files produced with .Xr ktrace 1 in human readable format. By default, the file

a ktrace.out in the current directory is displayed.

p The options are as follows: l -tag -width Fl t Fl d Display all numbers in decimal. t Fl f Ar file Display the specified file instead of

a ktrace.out . t Fl l Loop reading the trace file, once the end-of-file is reached, waiting for more data. t Fl m Ar maxdata Display at most .Ar maxdata bytes when decoding .Tn I/O . t Fl n Suppress ad hoc translations. Normally .Nm tries to decode many system calls into a more human readable format. For example, .Xr ioctl 2 values are replaced with the macro name and .Va errno values are replaced with the .Xr strerror 3 string. Suppressing this feature yields a more consistent output format and is easily amenable to further processing. t Fl p Ar pid Display only trace events that correspond to the process .Ar pid . This may be useful when there are multiple processes recorded in the same trace file. t Fl R Display relative timestamps (time since previous entry). t Fl T Display absolute timestamps for each entry (seconds since epoch). t Fl t Ar cnisuw See the .Fl t option of .Xr ktrace 1 . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ktrace 1 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command appeared in x 4.4 .
