43.Nm
44.Op Fl fnsi
45.Op Fl c Ar cpu
46.Op Fl N Ar execfile
47.Op Fl M Ar corefile
48.Op Ar interval
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50Kernels compiled with
51.Dv DEBUG_PCTRACK
52record the program counter (PC) of
53the code interrupted by the statistics clock interrupt.
54This information can be dumped with the
55.Nm
56utility
57.Pp
58The following options are available:
59.Bl -tag -width ".Fl N Ar execfile"
60.It Fl c Ar cpu
61Specify which CPU to dump.  If not specified, all CPUs will be dumped.
62.It Fl f
63If a single CPU and either
64.Fl i
65or
66.Fl s
67is specified, this option will use the repeat interval to detect changes
68and dump them as they occur.
69.It Fl i
70Dump the interrupt tracking buffer.
71.It Fl s
72Dump the kernel tracking buffer.
73If neither
74.Fl i
75or
76.Fl s
77is specified, both tracking buffers will be dumped.
78.It Fl n
79.Nm
80normally tries to translate the PC into symbols.  This option forces hex
81values to be displayed instead.
82.It Fl N Ar execfile
83The kernel image to resolve symbols from.
84The default is the value returned via
85.Xr getbootfile 3 .
86.It Fl M Ar corefile
87The core file or memory image to read from.
88The default is
89.Pa /dev/mem .
