39.Sh NAME
40.Nm kdump
41.Nd display kernel trace data
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Nm ""
44.Op Fl dlNnRT
45.Op Fl e Ar emulation
46.Op Fl f Ar file
47.Op Fl m Ar maxdata
48.Op Fl p Ar pid
49.Op Fl t Ar trstr
50.Op Ar file
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52.Nm
53displays the kernel trace files produced with
54.Xr ktrace 1
55in human readable format.
56The file
57.Pa ktrace.out
58in the current directory is displayed, unless either the
59.Fl f
60option is used, or a file name is supplied as the last argument.
61.Pp
62The options are as follows:
63.Bl -tag -width Fl
64.It Fl d
65Display all numbers in decimal.
66.It Fl e Ar emulation
67If an emulation of a process is unknown,
68interpret system call maps assuming the named emulation instead of
69default "netbsd".
70.It Fl f Ar file
71Display the specified file instead of
72.Pa ktrace.out .
73.It Fl l
74Loop reading the trace file, once the end-of-file is reached, waiting for
75more data.
76.It Fl m Ar maxdata
77Display at most
78.Ar maxdata
79bytes when decoding
80.Tn I/O .
81.It Fl N
82Suppress system call number-to-name translation.
83.It Fl n
84Suppress ad hoc translations.
85Normally
86.Nm
87tries to decode many system calls into a more human readable format.
88For example,
89.Xr ioctl 2
90values are replaced with the macro name and
91.Va errno
92values are replaced with the
93.Xr strerror 3
94string.
95Suppressing this feature yields a more consistent output format and is
96easily amenable to further processing.
97.It Fl p Ar pid
98Only display records from the trace file that are for the indicated pid.
99.It Fl R
100Display relative timestamps (time since previous entry).
101.It Fl T
102Display absolute timestamps for each entry (seconds since epoch).
103.It Fl t Ar trstr
104See the
105.Fl t
106option of
107.Xr ktrace 1 .
108.El
109.Sh SEE ALSO
110.Xr ktrace 1
111.Sh HISTORY
112The
113.Nm
114command appears in
115.Bx 4.4 .
