Traçage provisoire

Le traçage provisoire permet un filtrage intelligent des données et réduit la quantité réelle de données de trace qui vous est présentée et que vous devez analyser. Cela a pour effet secondaire d'éviter les problèmes de dépassement de la mémoire tampon si vous pouvez vous assurer que les données provisoirement collectées sont supprimées ou validées rapidement.

Le script suivant est un exemple d'utilisation des fonctions de trace provisoires pour capturer les données de trace uniquement lorsque cela est nécessaire:

/* 
 * File: tentative.e
 *
 *	Print details when write system call takes longer than a
 *	specified number of microseconds
 *
 *	Usage: probevue tentative.e <processID> <microseconds> 
 */
