dumpbind 1 "18 Nov 1996"
NAME
dumpbind - dump the bindings found in a bindings.so.1 output file
SYNOPSIS
dumpbind [ -pqsc ] bindings_file
AVAILABILITY

SUNWosdem

DESCRIPTION
dumpbind parses the output file created by the bindings.so.1 Link-Auditing library and displays a summary of all of the bindings that are are recorded in it.

bindings.so.1 is a Link-Auditing library which monitors the bindings of function calls and stores the data in a common buffer pointed to by BT_OUTPUT. Because this library tracks procedure calls via the la_pltenter() Link-Auditing interface this library will record which functions are called as part of the execution of a program. This differs from the symbindrep example which performs a static analysis of all of the bindings that are recorded in a program without actually executing it. Also note that it is safe to use the same BT_BUFFER for multiple processes running concurrently. This means that a whole suite of applications can be run and the interfaces that are used as part of that suite are recorded.

The bindings.so.1 library is enabled by the setting of the following environment variables.

10 LD_AUDIT set this to the value of the bindings.so.1 Link-Auditing library. By setting this environment variable the gathering of bindings data is enabled.

BT_OUTPUT set this to the name of the common output buffer which will be maintained during the data gathering period. If this is not set the output buffer will default to /tmp/bindings.data.

BT_BINDFROM a colon separated list of libraries that are to be traced. Only calls from these libraries will be traced. The default is to trace all calls.

BT_BINDTO a colon separated list of libraries that are to be traced. Only calls to these libraries will be traced. The default is to trace all calls.

OPTIONS

10 -p display output in parseable format.

-q query mutex_locks in bindings buffer and display there current status. This is when querying a problem with the bindings buffer.

-c clear all mutex_locks currently held in the bindings buffer.

-s set master mutex_lock in bindings buffer. This will cause any processes currently using this bindings buffer to hang until the lock is freed.

-b print hash bucket usage statistics for the bindings buffer.

EXAMPLES
Here is a sample of gathering data using the bindings.so.1 Link-Auditing library and then the examination of that data with the dumpbind command.

polyslo 136% unset LD_AUDIT

Unsetting LD_AUDIT has turned off the bindings data gathering and the output can now safely be examined by dumpbind.
