.TH creatbyproc.d 1m "$Date:: 2007-08-05 #$" "USER COMMANDS" .SH NAME creatbyproc.d \- snoop creat()s by process name. Uses DTrace. .SH SYNOPSIS .B creatbyproc.d .SH DESCRIPTION creatbyproc.d is a DTrace OneLiner to print file creations as it occurs, including the name of the process calling the open. This matches file creates from the creat() system call; not all file creation occurs in this way, sometimes it is through open() with a O_CREAT flag, this script will not monitor that activity. Docs/oneliners.txt and Docs/Examples/oneliners_examples.txt in the DTraceToolkit contain this as a oneliner that can be cut-n-paste to run. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. .SH OS Solaris .SH STABILITY stable - needs the syscall provider. .SH EXAMPLES .TP This prints process names and new pathnames until Ctrl\-C is hit. # .B creatbyproc.d .PP .SH FIELDS .TP CPU The CPU that recieved the event .TP ID A DTrace probe ID for the event .TP FUNCTION:NAME The DTrace probe name for the event .TP remaining fields The first is the name of the process, the second is the file pathname. .PP .SH DOCUMENTATION See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with verbose descriptions explaining the output. .SH EXIT creatbyproc.d will run forever until Ctrl\-C is hit. .SH AUTHOR Brendan Gregg [Sydney, Australia] .SH SEE ALSO dtrace(1M)
