BTRACE(8) System Manager's Manual BTRACE(8)
NAME
btrace - trace bitblt protocol
SYNOPSIS
btrace [ -d [ d ]] [ -o ofile ] [ -b bfile ]
DESCRIPTION
Btrace eavesdrops on messages to and from /dev/bitblt, interprets them as messages in the bit device protocol (see bit(3)), and prints a
readable version of the messages on a trace file, btrace.out by default. After btrace is started, it runs in the background, tracing all
subsequent graphics programs run in that window. Options for btrace are:
-o ofile Print trace output in ofile instead of btrace.out.
-b bfile Dump each bitmap read or written to bfile, using the format of bitmap(6). Each succeeding bitmap overwrites the previous con-
tents of file. Tweak(1) or showimage(7) can be used to examine the file.
-d Increase the level of trace detail. The maximum level is -dd.
FILES
/dev/bitblt
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/btrace.c
