37.Sh NAME
38.Nm kdump
39.Nd display kernel trace data
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Nm kdump
42.Op Fl dnlRT
43.Op Fl f Ar file
44.Op Fl m Ar maxdata
45.Op Fl t Op cnis
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47.Nm Kdump
48displays the kernel trace files produced with
49.Xr ktrace 1
50in human readable format.
51By default, the file
52.Pa ktrace.out
53in the current directory is displayed.
54.Pp
55The options are as follows:
56.Bl -tag -width Fl
57.It Fl d
58Display all numbers in decimal.
59.It Fl f Ar file
60Display the specified file instead of
61.Pa ktrace.out .
62.It Fl l
63Loop reading the trace file, once the end-of-file is reached, waiting for
64more data.
65.It Fl m Ar maxdata
66Display at most
67.Ar maxdata
68bytes when decoding
69.Tn I/O .
70.It Fl n
71Suppress ad hoc translations.
72Normally
73.Nm kdump
74tries to decode many system calls into a more human readable format.
75For example,
76.Xr ioctl 2
77values are replaced with the macro name and
78.Va errno
79values are replaced with the
80.Xr strerror 3
81string.
82Suppressing this feature yields a more consistent output format and is
83easily amenable to further processing.
84.It Fl R
85Display relative timestamps (time since previous entry).
86.It Fl T
87Display absolute timestamps for each entry (seconds since epoch).
88.It Fl t Ar cnis
89See the
90.Fl t
91option of
92.Xr ktrace 1 .
