.TH procsystime 1m  "$Date:: 2007-08-05 #$" "USER COMMANDS"
.SH NAME
procsystime \- analyse system call times. Uses DTrace.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B procsystime
[\-acehoT] [ -p PID | -n name | command ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
procsystime prints details on system call times for processes,
both the elapsed times and on-cpu times can be printed.

The elapsed times are interesting, to help identify syscalls
that take some time to complete (during which the process may
have slept). CPU time helps us identify syscalls that
are consuming CPU cycles 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.
