Using the trcrpt command to format a report

The trace report facility reads the trace log file, formats the trace entries, and writes a report.

The trcrpt command displays text and data for each event according to rules provided in the trace format file (/etc/trcfmt). Stanzas in the format file provide formatting rules for events or hooks. Users adding hooks to programs can insert corresponding event stanzas in the format file to print their trace data (see Adding new trace events).

The trcrpt facility does not produce any summary reports, but you can use the awk command to create simple summaries through further processing of the trcrpt output.
