38.Sh NAME
39.Nm kdump
40.Nd display kernel trace data
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm
43.Op Fl dnlRT
44.Op Fl f Ar file
45.Op Fl m Ar maxdata
46.Op Fl p Ar pid
47.Op Fl t Op cnisuw
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51command displays the kernel trace files produced with
52.Xr ktrace 1
53in human readable format.
54By default, the file
55.Pa ktrace.out
56in the current directory is displayed.
57.Pp
58The options are as follows:
59.Bl -tag -width Fl
60.It Fl d
61Display all numbers in decimal.
62.It Fl f Ar file
63Display the specified file instead of
64.Pa ktrace.out .
65.It Fl l
66Loop reading the trace file, once the end-of-file is reached, waiting for
67more data.
68.It Fl m Ar maxdata
69Display at most
70.Ar maxdata
71bytes when decoding
72.Tn I/O .
73.It Fl n
74Suppress ad hoc translations.
75Normally
76.Nm
77tries to decode many system calls into a more human readable format.
78For example,
79.Xr ioctl 2
80values are replaced with the macro name and
81.Va errno
82values are replaced with the
83.Xr strerror 3
84string.
85Suppressing this feature yields a more consistent output format and is
86easily amenable to further processing.
87.It Fl p Ar pid
88Display only trace events that correspond to the process
89.Ar pid .
90This may be useful when there are multiple processes recorded in the
91same trace file.
92.It Fl R
93Display relative timestamps (time since previous entry).
94.It Fl T
95Display absolute timestamps for each entry (seconds since epoch).
96.It Fl t Ar cnisuw
97See the
98.Fl t
99option of
100.Xr ktrace 1 .
