Uses DTrace. .SH SYNOPSIS .B syscallbysysc.d .SH DESCRIPTION syscallbysysc.d is a DTrace OneLiner to a report of the number of each type of system call made.

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 Any .SH STABILITY stable - needs the syscall provider. .SH EXAMPLES .TP This samples until Ctrl\-C is hit. # .B syscallbysysc.d .PP .SH FIELDS .TP first field This is the system call type.
