52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The DTrace
54.Nm tcp
55provider allows users to trace events in the
56.Xr tcp 4
57protocol implementation.
58This provider is similar to the
59.Xr dtrace_ip 4
60and
61.Xr dtrace_udp 4
62providers, but additionally contains probes corresponding to protocol events at
63a level higher than packet reception and transmission.
64All
65.Nm tcp
66probes except for
67.Fn tcp:::state-change
68have the same number and type of arguments.
69The last three arguments are used to describe a TCP segment: the
70.Vt ipinfo_t
71argument exposes the version-agnostic fields of the IP header, while the
72.Vt tcpinfo_t
73argument exposes the TCP header, and the
74.Vt tcpsinfo_t
75argument describes details of the corresponding TCP connection state, if any.
76Their fields are described in the ARGUMENTS section.
77.Pp
78The
79.Fn tcp:::accept-established
80probe fires when a remotely-initiated active TCP open succeeds.
81At this point the new connection is in the ESTABLISHED state, and the probe
82arguments expose the headers associated with the final ACK of the three-way
83handshake.
84The
85.Fn tcp:::accept-refused
86probe fires when a SYN arrives on a port without a listening socket.
87The probe arguments expose the headers associated with the RST to be transmitted
88to the remote host in response to the SYN segment.
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn tcp:::connect-established ,
92.Fn tcp:::connect-refused ,
93and
94.Fn tcp:::connect-request
95probes are similar to the
96.Ql accept
97probes, except that they correspond to locally-initiated TCP connections.
98The
99.Fn tcp:::connect-established
100probe fires when the SYN-ACK segment of a three-way handshake is received from
101the remote host and a final ACK is prepared for transmission.
102This occurs immediately after the local connection state transitions from
103SYN-SENT to ESTABLISHED.
104The probe arguments describe the headers associated with the received SYN-ACK
105segment.
106The
107.Fn tcp:::connect-refused
108probe fires when the local host receives a RST segment in response to a SYN
109segment, indicating that the remote host refused to open a connection.
110The probe arguments describe the IP and TCP headers associated with the received
111RST segment.
112The
113.Fn tcp:::connect-request
114probe fires as the kernel prepares to transmit the initial SYN segment of a
115three-way handshake.
116.Pp
117The
118.Fn tcp:::send
119and
120.Fn tcp:::receive
121probes fire when the host sends or receives a TCP packet, respectively.
122As with the
123.Xr dtrace_udp 4
124provider,
125.Nm tcp
126probes fire only for packets sent by or to the local host; forwarded packets are
127handled in the IP layer and are only visible to the
128.Xr dtrace_ip 4
129provider.
130.Pp
131The
132.Fn tcp:::state-change
133probe fires upon local TCP connection state transitions.
134Its first, third and fifth arguments are currently always
135.Dv NULL .
136Its last argument describes the from-state in the transition, and the to-state
137can be obtained from
138.Dv args[2]->tcps_state .
139.Sh ARGUMENTS
140The
141.Vt pktinfo_t
142argument is currently unimplemented and is included for compatibility with other
143implementations of this provider.
144Its fields are:
145.Bl -tag -width "uinptr_t pkt_addr" -offset indent
146.It Vt uinptr_t pkt_addr
147Always set to 0.
148.El
149.Pp
150The
151.Vt csinfo_t
152argument is currently unimplemented and is included for compatibility with other
153implementations of this provider.
154Its fields are:
155.Bl -tag -width "uintptr_t cs_addr" -offset indent
156.It Vt uintptr_t cs_addr
