The output format of
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is line oriented with several fields.
|
||||
The example below shows a section of a kdump generated by the following
|
||||
commands:
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
?> ktrace echo "ktrace"
|
||||
|
||||
?> kdump
|
||||
|
||||
85045 echo CALL writev(0x1,0x804b030,0x2)
|
||||
85045 echo GIO fd 1 wrote 7 bytes
|
||||
"ktrace
|
||||
"
|
||||
85045 echo RET writev 7
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The first field is the PID of the process being traced.
|
||||
The second field is the name of the program being traced.
|
||||
The third field is the operation that the kernel performed
|
||||
on behalf of the process.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
In the first line above, the kernel executes the
|
||||
.Xr writev 2
|
||||
system call on behalf of the process so this is a
|
||||
.Li CALL
|
||||
operation.
|
||||
The fourth field shows the system call that was executed,
|
||||
including its arguments.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Xr writev 2
|
||||
system call takes a file descriptor, in this case 1, or standard
|
||||
output, then a pointer to the iovector to write, and the number of
|
||||
iovectors that are to be written.
|
||||
In the second line we see the operation was
|
||||
.Li GIO ,
|
||||
for general I/O, and that file descriptor 1 had
|
||||
seven bytes written to it.
|
||||
This is followed by the seven bytes that were written, the string
|
||||
.Qq Li ktrace
|
||||
with a carriage return and line feed.
|
||||
The last line is the
|
||||
.Li RET
|
||||
operation, showing a return from the kernel, what system call we are
|
||||
returning from, and the return value that the process received.
|
||||
Seven bytes were written by the
|
||||
.Xr writev 2
|
||||
system call, so 7 is the return value.
|
||||

|
||||
