61.Op Fl r Ar regex
62.Sh DESCRIPTION
63The
64.Nm
65utility uses
66.Xr dtrace 1
67to display process info when a given DTrace probe point is triggered.
68Only the root user or users with
69.Xr sudo 8 Pq Pa ports/security/sudo
70access can run this command.
71.Pp
72.Nm
73automates the process of generating DTrace scripts to coalesce trace output by
74date/time,
75process info,
76and
77.Op optionally
78probe-specific data.
79.Pp
80Output format without options is:
81.Pp
82.Dl date/time uid.gid execname[pid]: psargs
83.Pp
84For example,
85the command
86.Ql dwatch BEGIN
87produces:
88.Pp
89.Dl INFO Watching 'dtrace:::BEGIN' ...
90.Dl 2017 May 29 08:23:20 0.0 dtrace[60671]: dtrace -s /dev/stdin
91.Pp
92The
93.Fl F
94option causes
95.Nm
96to instead coalesce trace output by date/time,
97process info,
98and probe traversal.
99.Pp
100Output format with the
101.Ql Fl F
102option is:
103.Pp
104.Dl date/time uid.gid execname[pid]: {->,<-, |} prov:mod:func:name ...
105.Pp
106For example,
107the command
108.Ql dwatch -F BEGIN
109produces:
110.Pp
111.Dl INFO Watching 'dtrace:::BEGIN' ...
112.Dl 2017 May 29 21:34:41 0.0 dtrace[86593]:  | dtrace:::BEGIN ...
113.Pp
114The
115.Fl R
116option causes
117.Nm
118to display a process tree containing the parent,
119grandparent,
120and ancestor process info.
121.Pp
122Output format with the
123.Ql Fl R
124option is:
125.Pp
126.Dl date/time uid0.gid0 execname[pid0]: psargs0
127.Dl " -+= pid3 uid3.gid3 psargs3"
128.Dl "  \e\\-+= pid2 uid2.gid2 psargs2"
129.Dl "    \e\\-+= pid1 uid1.gid1 psargs1"
130.Dl "      \e\\-+= pid0 uid0.guid0 psargs0"
131.Pp
132For example,
133the command
134.Ql dwatch -R BEGIN
135produces:
136.Pp
137.Dl INFO Watching 'dtrace:::BEGIN' ...
138.Dl 2017 May 29 21:38:54 0.0 dtrace[86899]: dtrace -s /dev/stdin
139.Dl " -+= 86855 604.604 -bash"
140.Dl "  \e\\-+= 86857 604.604 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/dwatch -R BEGIN"
141.Dl "    \e\\-+= 86897 0.0 sudo dtrace -s /dev/stdin"
142.Dl "      \e\\-+= 86899 0.0 dtrace -s /dev/stdin"
143.Pp
144Of particular interest is the ability to filter using regular expressions.
145The
146.Ql Fl g Ar group ,
147.Ql Fl p Ar pid ,
148.Ql Fl r Ar regex ,
149.Ql Fl u Ar user ,
150and
151.Ql Fl z Ar regex
152options can be combined with
153.Ql Fl R
154to match on parent process criteria as well as current process info.
155.Pp
156In contrast,
157the
158.Ql Fl j Ar jail ,
159and
160.Ql Fl k Ar name
161options apply only to the current process even if
162.Ql Fl R
163is given.
164.Pp
165The
166.Ql Fl E Ar code
167option gives the ability to customize probe-specific data.
168For example,
169the command:
170.Pp
171.Dl dwatch -E 'printf("%s", copyinstr(arg0))' chdir
172.Pp
173displays the path argument sent to
174.Xr chdir 2
175calls.
176.Pp
177Profiles can be written for more complex routines and/or convenience.
178To list available profiles use the
179.Ql Fl Q
180option.
181Use the
182.Ql Fl X Ar profile
183option to use a particular profile.
184.Pp
185For example,
186the command
187.Ql dwatch -X kill
188displays arguments sent to
189.Xr kill 2 .
190.Sh OPTIONS
191If a
192.Ar probe
193argument does not contain colon
194.Pq Qo Li ":" Qc
195and none of
196.Ql Fl P ,
197.Ql Fl m ,
198.Ql Fl f ,
199or
200.Ql Fl n
201are given,
202the probe argument is intelligently mapped to its most-likely value.
203Use
204.Ql Nm Fl l Ar name
205to see what probes will match a given name.
206.Pp
207Multiple probes must be given as a single
208.Pq quoted
209argument,
210separated by comma and/or whitespace.
211Any/all arguments following said probes will be passed to
212.Xr dtrace 1
213unmodified.
