NAME

       syscallbypid.d - syscalls by process ID. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS

       syscallbypid.d

DESCRIPTION

       This  reports  the  number  of  each  type of system call made by PID.  This is useful to identify which process is causing the most system
       calls.

       This is based on a script from DExplorer.

       Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

EXAMPLES

       This samples until Ctrl-C is hit.
	      # syscallbypid.d

FIELDS

       bose descriptions explaining the output.
