26.Dt DTRACE_IO 4
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm dtrace_io
30.Nd a DTrace provider for tracing events related to disk I/O
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Fn io:::start "struct bio *" "struct devstat *"
33.Fn io:::done "struct bio *" "struct devstat *"
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The
36.Nm io
37provider allows the tracing of disk I/O events.
38The
39.Fn io:::start
40probe fires when a I/O request is about to be sent to the backing driver of a
41.Xr disk 9
42object.
43This occurs after all
44.Xr GEOM 4
45transformations have been performed on the request.
46The
47.Fn io:::done
48probe fires when a I/O request is completed.
49Both probes take a
50.Vt "struct bio *"
51representing the I/O request as their first argument.
52The second argument is a
53.Vt "struct devstat *"
54for the underlying
55.Xr disk 9
56object.
57.Sh ARGUMENTS
58The fields of
59.Vt "struct bio"
60are described in the
61.Xr g_bio 9
62manual page, and the fields of
63.Vt "struct devstat"
64are described in the
65.Xr devstat 9
66manual page.
67Translators for the
68.Vt bufinfo_t
69and
70.Vt devinfo_t
71D types are defined in
72.Pa /usr/lib/dtrace/io.d .
73.Sh FILES
74.Bl -tag -width "/usr/lib/dtrace/io.d" -compact
75.It Pa /usr/lib/dtrace/io.d
76DTrace type and translator definitions for the
77.Nm io
78provider.
79.El
80.Sh EXAMPLES
81The following script shows a per-process breakdown of total I/O by disk device:
82.Bd -literal -offset indent
83#pragma D option quiet
84
85io:::start
86{
87        @[args[1]->device_name, execname, pid] = sum(args[0]->bio_bcount);
88}
89
90END
91{
92        printf("%10s %20s %10s %15s\\n", "DEVICE", "APP", "PID", "BYTES");
93        printa("%10s %20s %10d %15@d\\n", @);
94}
95.Ed
96.Sh COMPATIBILITY
97This provider is not compatible with the
98.Nm io
99provider found in Solaris, as its probes use native
100.Fx
101argument types.
102.Sh SEE ALSO
103.Xr dtrace 1 ,
104.Xr devstat 9 ,
105.Xr SDT 9
106.Sh HISTORY
107The
108.Nm io
109provider first appeared in
110.Fx
1119.2 and 10.0.

115.Sh BUGS
116The
117.Fn io:::wait-start
118and
119.Fn io:::wait-done
120probes are not currently implemented on
121.Fx .
