28.Dt DTRACE_IO 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm dtrace_io
32.Nd a DTrace provider for tracing events related to disk I/O
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Fn io:::start "struct bio *" "struct devstat *"
35.Fn io:::done "struct bio *" "struct devstat *"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm io
39provider allows the tracing of disk I/O events.
40The
41.Fn io:::start
42probe fires when a I/O request is about to be sent to the backing driver of a
43.Xr disk 9
44object.
45This occurs after all
46.Xr GEOM 4
47transformations have been performed on the request.
48The
49.Fn io:::done
50probe fires when a I/O request is completed.
51Both probes take a
52.Vt "struct bio *"
53representing the I/O request as their first argument.
54The second argument is a
55.Vt "struct devstat *"
56for the underlying
57.Xr disk 9
58object.
59.Sh ARGUMENTS
60The fields of
61.Vt "struct bio"
62are described in the
63.Xr g_bio 9
64manual page, and the fields of
65.Vt "struct devstat"
66are described in the
67.Xr devstat 9
68manual page.
69Translators for the
70.Vt bufinfo_t
71and
72.Vt devinfo_t
73D types are defined in
74.Pa /usr/lib/dtrace/io.d .
75.Sh FILES
76.Bl -tag -width "/usr/lib/dtrace/io.d" -compact
77.It Pa /usr/lib/dtrace/io.d
78DTrace type and translator definitions for the
79.Nm io
80provider.
81.El
82.Sh EXAMPLES
83The following script shows a per-process breakdown of total I/O by disk device:
84.Bd -literal -offset indent
85#pragma D option quiet
86
87io:::start
88{
89        @[args[1]->device_name, execname, pid] = sum(args[0]->bio_bcount);
90}
91
92END
93{
94        printf("%10s %20s %10s %15s\\n", "DEVICE", "APP", "PID", "BYTES");
95        printa("%10s %20s %10d %15@d\\n", @);
96}
97.Ed
98.Sh COMPATIBILITY
99This provider is not compatible with the
100.Nm io
101provider found in Solaris, as its probes use native
102.Fx
103argument types.
104.Sh SEE ALSO
105.Xr dtrace 1 ,
106.Xr devstat 9 ,
107.Xr SDT 9
108.Sh HISTORY
109The
110.Nm io
111provider first appeared in
112.Fx
1139.2 and 10.0.
114.Sh AUTHORS

117.Sh BUGS
118The
119.Fn io:::wait-start
120and
121.Fn io:::wait-done
122probes are not currently implemented on
123.Fx .
