pl_syscalls.d - count Perl subroutine calls and syscalls using DTrace. pl_syscalls.d { -p PID | -c cmd } Filename and subroutine names are printed if available. The filename for syscalls may be printed as "perl", if the program was invoked using the form "perl filename" rather than running the program with an interpreter line. Any Evolving - uses the DTrace Perl provider, which may change as additional features are introduced. Check Perl/Readme to see what version these scripts are based on.

Default output, # pl_syscalls.d

FILE Filename of the Perl program

TYPE Type of call (sub/syscall)

NAME Name of call

COUNT Number of calls during sample

See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Examples, Notes and Docs directories. The example files may be especially useful as they aim to demonstrate how to interpret the output. pl_syscalls.d will run until Ctrl-C is hit. Brendan Gregg [CA, USA] dtrace(1M)
