  futexes address, the number of contentions, and the average time for
  each contention on the futex are printed from lowest pid number to
  highest.


process/sleeptime.stp - Trace Time Spent in nanosleep Syscalls
keywords: syscall sleep

  The script watches each nanosleep syscall on the system. At the end
  of each nanosleep syscall the script prints out a line with a
  timestamp in microseconds, the pid, the executable name in
  parentheses, the "nanosleep:" key, and the duration of the sleep in
  microseconds.


process/syscalls_by_pid.stp - System-Wide Count of Syscalls by PID
keywords: syscall

  The script watches all syscall on the system. On exit the script
  prints a list showing the number of systemcalls executed by each PID
  ordered from greatest to least number of syscalls.


process/syscalls_by_proc.stp - System-Wide Count of Syscalls by Executable
keywords: syscall

  The script watches all syscall on the system. On exit the script
  prints a list showing the number of systemcalls executed by each
  executable ordered from greatest to least number of syscalls.


process/wait4time.stp - Trace Time Spent in wait4 Syscalls
keywords: syscall wait4

  The script watches each wait4 syscall on the system. At the end of
  each wait4 syscall the script prints out a line with a timestamp in
  microseconds, the pid, the executable name in parentheses, the
  "wait4:" key, the duration of the wait and the PID that the wait4 was
  waiting for. If the waited for PID is not specified , it is "-1".


= TCP =

network/sk_stream_wait_memory.stp - Track Start and Stop of Processes Due to Network Buffer Space
keywords: network tcp buffer memory

  The sk_stream-wait_memory.stp prints a time stamp, executable, and
  pid each time a process blocks due to the send buffer being full. A
  similar entry is printed each time a process continues because there
  is room in the buffer.


network/tcp_connections.stp - Track Creation of Incoming TCP Connections
keywords: network tcp socket

  The tcp_connections.stp script prints information for each new
  incoming TCP connection accepted by the computer. The information
  includes the UID, the command accepting the connection, the PID of
  the command, the port the connection is on, and the IP address of the
  originator of the request.


= TIME =

io/iotime.stp - Trace Time Spent in Read and Write for Files 
keywords: syscall read write time io

  The script watches each open, close, read, and write syscalls on the
  system. For each file the scripts observes opened it accumulates the
  amount of wall clock time spend in read and write operations and the
  number of bytes read and written. When a file is closed the script
  prints out a pair of lines for the file. Both lines begin with a
  timestamp in microseconds, the PID number, and the executable name in
  parentheses. The first line with the "access" keyword lists the file
  name, the attempted number of bytes for the read and write
  operations. The second line with the "iotime" keyword list the file
  name and the number of microseconds accumulated in the read and write
  syscalls.


process/schedtimes.stp - Track Time Processes Spend in Various States using Tracepoints
keywords: process scheduler time tracepoint

  The schedtimes.stp script instruments the scheduler to track the
  amount of time that each process spends running, sleeping, queued,
  and waiting for io. On exit the script prints out the accumulated
  time for each state of processes observed.  Optionally, this script
  can be used with the '-c' or '-x' options to focus on a specific PID.


= TRACE =

general/para-callgraph.stp - Callgraph tracing with arguments
keywords: trace callgraph

  Print a timed per-thread callgraph, complete with function parameters
  and return values.  The first parameter names the function probe
  points to trace.  The optional second parameter names the probe
  points for trigger functions, which acts to enable tracing for only
  those functions that occur while the current thread is nested within
  the trigger.


network/tcp_trace.stp - Tcp connection tracing utility.
keywords: network trace

  This scripts traces a given tcp connection based on the filter
  parameters given by the user. The indexing is done by the 4 tuples
  local address, remote address, local port, remote port.


= TRACEPOINT =

network/dropwatch.stp - Watch Where Socket Buffers are Freed in the Kernel
keywords: network tracepoint buffer free

  Every five seconds the dropwatch.stp script lists the number of
  socket buffers freed at locations in the kernel.


process/schedtimes.stp - Track Time Processes Spend in Various States using Tracepoints
keywords: process scheduler time tracepoint

  The schedtimes.stp script instruments the scheduler to track the
  amount of time that each process spends running, sleeping, queued,
  and waiting for io. On exit the script prints out the accumulated
  time for each state of processes observed.  Optionally, this script
  can be used with the '-c' or '-x' options to focus on a specific PID.


= TRAFFIC =

network/netdev.stp - Trace Activity on Network Devices
keywords: network device traffic

  The netdev.stp script traces configuration and transmit/receive
  activity on network devices.


network/nettop.stp - Periodic Listing of Processes Using Network Interfaces
keywords: network traffic per-process

  Every five seconds the nettop.stp script prints out a list of
  processed (PID and command) with the number of packets sent/received
  and the amount of data sent/received by the process during that
  interval.


network/tcpdumplike.stp - Dump of Received TCP Packets
keywords: network traffic

  The tcpdumplike.stp prints out a line for each TCP packet received.
  Each line includes the source and destination IP addresses, the
  source and destination ports, and flags.


= TTY =

io/ttyspy.stp - Monitor tty typing.
keywords: io tty per-process monitor

  The ttyspy.stp script uses tty_audit hooks to monitor recent typing
  activity on the system, printing a scrolling record of recent
  keystrokes, on a per-tty basis.


= USE =

general/graphs.stp - Graphing Disk and CPU Utilization
keywords: disk cpu use graph

  The script tracks the disk and CPU utilization. The resulting output
  of the script can be piped into gnuplot to generate a graph of disk
  and CPU USE.


= WAIT4 =

process/wait4time.stp - Trace Time Spent in wait4 Syscalls
keywords: syscall wait4

  The script watches each wait4 syscall on the system. At the end of
  each wait4 syscall the script prints out a line with a timestamp in
  microseconds, the pid, the executable name in parentheses, the
  "wait4:" key, the duration of the wait and the PID that the wait4 was
  waiting for. If the waited for PID is not specified , it is "-1".


= WRITE =

io/iotime.stp - Trace Time Spent in Read and Write for Files 
keywords: syscall read write time io

  The script watches each open, close, read, and write syscalls on the
  system. For each file the scripts observes opened it accumulates the
  amount of wall clock time spend in read and write operations and the
  number of bytes read and written. When a file is closed the script
  prints out a pair of lines for the file. Both lines begin with a
  timestamp in microseconds, the PID number, and the executable name in
  parentheses. The first line with the "access" keyword lists the file
  name, the attempted number of bytes for the read and write
  operations. The second line with the "iotime" keyword list the file
  name and the number of microseconds accumulated in the read and write
  syscalls.
